April 8, 2025 – U.S.-based computer manufacturer Framework has announced a “temporary suspension” of sales for certain laptop models in the United States due to tariff policies that took effect on April 5 under the Trump administration.
According to Framework, the affected laptop models encompass “several base – model Framework Laptop 13 systems (Ultra 5 125H and Ryzen 5 7640U).” Currently, these models have been temporarily removed from the company’s official U.S. website.
In a separate post, Framework elaborated, “When we set the prices for our laptops, we were operating under the assumption of a 0% tariff rate for goods imported from Taiwan. With a 10% tariff in place, selling our lowest – end models would result in losses.”
The company also noted that other consumer goods manufacturers have conducted similar cost – benefit analyses and taken similar measures, though most have not publicly acknowledged doing so.
The Trump administration’s tariff policies have already had a significant impact on the products of many companies. For instance, Nintendo postponed reservations for the Switch 2 in the U.S. market due to tariff – related issues, and Jaguar Land Rover suspended shipments to the United States in April to devise a response plan.
