Apple to make new Mac Pro PCs in U.S. after some tariff exemptions

Apple Inc said on Monday it will make new Mac Pro desktop computers at its Austin, Texas facility, following some relief on tariffs by the U.S. government.

U.S. trade regulators on Friday approved 10 out of 15 requests for tariff exemptions filed by Apple amid a broader reprieve on levies on computer parts.

Apple’s requests for tariff exemptions were for components such as partially completed circuit boards.

“The new Mac Pro will include components designed, developed and manufactured by more than a dozen American companies for distribution to U.S. customers,” Apple said in a statement.
