The United States Grants Conditional Waiver of "Tariff on Parity" for Products such as Mobile Phones, PCs, Servers, and Semiconductors

BlockBeats News, April 12, U.S. Eastern Time. On the evening of April 11, 2025, at 10:36 PM ET, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a notice announcing guidance on the additional tariff imposed on imported goods by the U.S. government on April 2, 2025, as well as further instructions on the tariff-related executive orders issued on April 7 and April 9. This includes tariff exemptions for products such as computers, servers, smartphones, printers, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, wireless communication devices (such as base stations, routers, etc.), memory, displays, semiconductor-related devices, integrated circuits, and other products.

A 22-page product exclusion list on the White House website shows that if the "U.S. Component" of a product, originating from any country, constitutes 20% or more of the total customs value of the imported good, no additional tariff will be imposed on the "U.S. Component," only on the "Non-U.S. Component" with an equivalent tariff.
