Exempt items are:

8471: Computers.

8473.30: Computer parts.

8486: Semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

8517.13.00: Smartphones.

8517.62.00: Network equipment.

8523.51.00: Solid state media.

8524 and 8528.52.00: Computer displays.

8541.* (with some subheadings excluded): Semiconductor components EXCEPT LEDs, photovoltaic components, piezoelectric crystals).

8542: Integrated circuits.

The 8541.* category exclusions are interesting. Does the US self-produce all required quantities of LEDs and piezoelectric crystals and doesn't need to import those? Is the exception on photovoltaic components to discourage American companies from producing solar panels?
