Changes affect smartphones, computers, chips, memory cards, and other devices
The U.S. administration has amended the documents that imposed higher tariffs on Chinese goods, removing certain electronic items from the list. This was reported by WNTab on Saturday, April 12, citing an updated directive from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency.
The directive was issued on the evening of Friday, April 11.
Specifically, the document removes the following items from the list of goods subject to import tariffs:
• Smartphones
• Computers
• Semiconductors
• Solar panels
• Flat-screen televisions
• Flash drives
• Memory cards
• Data storage devices
As is known, former U.S. President Donald Trump imposed increased tariffs on imports from most countries around the world. Some countries expressed readiness to negotiate tariff terms, while others imposed their own retaliatory measures. Among the latter was China. Currently, Washington has set tariffs on Chinese goods at 145%, while Beijing has responded with a 125% rate.
Technology companies have suffered the most from the trade war, especially Apple, which manufactures the majority of its products in China.
Earlier, WNTab reported that the Spanish government is allocating significant funds for all those affected by the large-scale floods.
