President Donald Trump's administration has exempted smartphones and computers from his reciprocal tariffs, including a 125% tariff on Chinese goods.

Late on Friday, US Customs and Border Patrol issued a notification stating that the commodities would be exempt from Trump's 10% worldwide tariff on most countries, as well as the considerably bigger Chinese import tax, according to BBC.

The move comes after US IT businesses expressed fears that the cost of products, which are often built in China, will soar. Other electronic gadgets and components, such as semiconductors, solar cells, and memory cards, are excluded as well.
