The White House later clarified those electronics were merely being shifted to a “different tariff bucket” and may still face a separate 20 % levy tied to fentanyl enforcement. Commerce simultaneously opened a new national‑security probe into chips, signalling more duties on computer parts rather than an exemption. Thus even the latest carve‑out is temporary and does not cover most components (power ICs, printed‑circuit boards, cables, etc.).It's hard to tell what is what from day to day.</blockquote>
