Exempt from the reciprocal tariff

This code is listed as exempt from the reciprocal tariff, so that layer adds nothing here.

What the code rests on

Semiconductor devices (for example, diodes, transistors, semiconductor-based transducers); photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light-emitting diodes (LED), whether or not assembled with other light-emitting diodes (LED); mounted piezo-electric crystals; parts thereof: > Transistors, other than photosensitive transistors: > Other
