Trump exempts smartphones, computers, and other electronics from tariffs on China.

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump allowed exemptions from high tariffs on smartphones, computers, and various other electronics mostly imported from China, offering significant relief to tech companies such as Apple that depend on imported goods.

China said it was evaluating the impact of the exclusions. In a statement on Sunday, the Ministry of Commerce called the move a “small step by U.S. to correct its wrong practice of unilateral ‘reciprocal tariffs’.”

“The bell on a tiger’s neck can only be untied by the person who tied it,” the ministry said, urging the U.S. to make a major step in correcting what it called its wrongdoing and cancelling the tariffs completely.

In a notification to shippers, issued on Friday, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency released a list of tariff codes exempt from the import taxes, effective retroactively from 12:01 a.m. EDT on the 5th of April.

It included 20 product categories, such as the general 8471 code for all computers, laptops, disk drives, and automated data processing. It also encompassed semiconductor devices, machinery, memory chips, and flat-panel screens.

The announcement offered no rationale for the decision, but the omission brings much-needed relief to significant tech companies like Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab, Dell Technologies , opens new tab, and several other importers.

The measure also removes the designated electronics from Trump’s 10% “baseline” tariffs on items from most nations apart from China, reducing import expenses for semiconductors from Taiwan and Apple iPhones manufactured in India.

Asked on Saturday about his reasoning for the exemptions and plans for semiconductors, Trump told reporters: “I’ll give you that answer on Monday. We’ll be very specific on Monday … we’re taking in a lot of money, as a country, we’re taking in a lot of money.”

For the Chinese imports, the exclusion of the tech products applies only to Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, which climbed to 125% this week, according to a White House official. Trump’s prior 20% duties on all Chinese imports that he said were related to the U.S. fentanyl crisis remain in place.

But the official said Trump would launch a new national security trade investigation into semiconductors soon that could lead to other new tariffs.

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives called the announcement about the tech exclusions “the most bullish news we could have heard this weekend.”

“There is still clear uncertainty and volatility ahead with these China negotiations…. Big Tech firms like Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft and the broader tech industry can breathe a huge sigh of relief this weekend into Monday,” Ives said in an industry note.
