US delaying China tariffs for some items including cellphones, removing other products from list

The United States Trade Representative office said Tuesday certain items were being removed from the new China tariff list because of “health, safety, national security and other factors” while tariffs on other items would be delayed until December 15.

The products in the group that will have tariffs delayed include “cell phones, laptop computers, video game consoles, certain toys, computer monitors, and certain items of footwear and clothing,” the USTR said.

Apple shares traded higher on the news. Best Buy, Nike, Kohl’s and other retailers were also trading higher.
