> 8486 Machines for producing semiconductors & ICs: wafer fab, lithography. Does US buy them from China too?

  Unlikely. The exclusions above are for reciprocal tariffs from all countries, i.e. China 0% reciprocal + 20% (fentanyl) + 2018-2024 rates non-China 0% reciprocal

    Reciprocal is inaccurate, you should stop using that term - this label was chosen to obfuscate what is going on and confuse those who don't know better.

      I'm told it was chosen because the executive only has the power to impose tariffs without legislative approval if they're reciprocal.

  Not sure specifically, but most common chips aren’t fabbed on processes that require cutting edge machines like you hear about for nVidia or iPhone chips. All of the little chips in everything else are fabricated on much simpler processes that require much less complex machinery.
