what about switch 2
That can be considered a computer or phone so sounds like it's exempt.
Based on the CSMS statement elseware in the thread and my limited google-fu, it looks like swicth one was 9504.50, which isn't on the list of exemptions.
That said, I wouldn't be too surprised if Nintendo figured out a few tweaks in the feature list that would allow them to claim it as one of the exempted categories.
Follow Sony's play and call it an "OtherOS" mode. You don't even have to support it once you're already shipping under the new classification!
Are they just kind of saying things at this point?

exemptions also include other electronic devices and components, including semiconductors, solar cells and memory cards.
Holy fuck on solar cells!!!! Huge boost for cost of solar outside of China imported to US, or made in US from Chinese cell supplies.
This can significantly accelerate US solar adoption. If Trump manages to lower interest rates, that is biggest payoff gain for solar/battery projects.
edit: China might still be tariffed 20% on these items.
