The proposed 25% would be applied to key Mac Pro parts and accessories.  On July 18, Apple filed documents to the U.S. Trade Representative asking for an exemption for a product that closely resembled the device. Apple also sought an exclusion from duties for the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.

Apple already had some of its products excluded from tariffs introduced as part of the ongoing trade war with China. U.S. President Donald Trump will hold face-to-face meetings in China on Monday.
