By David Lawder and Jeff Mason WASHINGTON/WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's administration granted exclusions from steep tariffs on smartphones, computers and some other electronics imported largely from China,

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that smartphones and other electronics will be included in future semiconductor sectoral tariffs, two days after the Trump administration said such products were exempt from China import levies.

Smartphones, laptop computers, memory chips and other electronics will be exempt from President Trump’s so-called reciprocal tariffs, another step back that could ease some consumer concerns about an immediate jump in costs for tech products imported from China.
