U.S. President Trump announced that smartphones, computers and other devices will be exempt from tariffs, but gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch 2 will be the exception.

In a notice released over the weekend, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that specific goods will be exempt from 10% global tariffs imposed by Trump on most countries and China's import taxes that are bound to cause the prices of tech products to soar.

New smartphones and laptops are expected to rise by hundreds of dollars as a result of large quantities of parts are produced in China and the products themselves are assembled, but the new exemption policy mitigates the potential impact of these products.

However, one notable exception to the exempted product list is the video game console and all its related accessories.Like computers and smartphones, most of the electronic game consoles are manufactured in China, Vietnam and other countries affected by tariffs.It is not yet explained why some technology products are exempted, while video game consoles and their accessories do not.

As most of Nintendo's products imported to the United States come from Vietnam and Cambodia, Trump's decision to impose a 46% tariff on Vietnam may have an impact on Nintendo's hardware prices, especially the upcoming Switch 2.Nintendo has reportedly transferred most of its Switch 2 production to Vietnam to avoid potential tariffs.
