The Customs and Border Protection Agency of the United States has announced a list of products that are exempt from additional import taxes, including smartphones, computers, electronic devices, and components such as semiconductors, solar cells, televisions, and memory units.

While these items are not completely exempt from customs duties, they will be exempt from the additional import taxes recently imposed by the U.S. government, such as the 145% rate for imports from China.
