One such newly exempted code is 8528.52.00, \u201cMonitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus; capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with an automatic data processing machine.\u201d According to an official US customs ruling<\/a>, and sources familiar with importing VR headsets to the US, this code applies to VR headsets.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Will Trump\u2019s Tariffs Drive Up VR Headset Prices?<\/p>\n With a 54% tariff set to apply to Chinese-made goods and 46% for Vietnam, will the price of VR headsets in the US soon increase?<\/p>\n This means VR headsets won’t be subjected to Trump’s 125% additional tariff on goods made in China, nor the 10% tariff for countries like Vietnam, rates which kicked in on Wednesday, and the exemptions are retroactive too. Most headsets are made in these two countries.<\/p>\n When first announced<\/a> at the start of the month, the “reciprocal” tariffs were set to be 34% for China and 46% for Vietnam, and Trump had already enacted a 20% tariff on Chinese imports in recent months, which would have brought the total for China to 54%.<\/p>\n However, when Wednesday arrived, the day on which the tariffs were set to kick in, Trump announced he would limit the rate to 10% for 90 days, except for China, which would see a total rate of 145%. Had this held without exemptions for electronics, it likely would have seen Meta produce Quest in Vietnam only<\/a>, while some other headset companies would have been forced to raise prices.<\/p>\n Now, these concerns should no longer apply.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Quest-3-and-Apple-Vision-Pro-exploded-views-2.png\")
