The United States exempts some products imported from China from tariffs

On the night of April 11 local time, the US Customs and Border Protection issued an announcement saying that products such as smartphones, routers, and some computers and notebooks will no longer be included in the so-called 125% "reciprocal tariff" previously implemented on Chinese imports. According to the latest policy, products that meet the classification numbers listed in the US Harmonized Tariff Rules will be exempted from "reciprocal tariffs", including key technology products such as smartphones, routers, some computer equipment and electronic components. The US Customs and Border Protection said that importers should declare their exemption qualifications when declaring relevant goods. For goods that have been cleared or picked up after April 5, companies need to complete relevant declaration corrections within 10 days after the release of the goods. Unsettled items can apply for post-event summary corrections, and items that have been settled but are still within the protest period can also apply for refunds. It is unclear whether these products will still be subject to the 20% tax rate that does not fall under the "reciprocal tariff" framework. The US International Trade Commission has not responded to relevant inquiries, and the White House did not immediately comment. (CCTV International News)
