The new list of 44 categories of spared imports, worth about US$7.8 billion according to U.S. Census Bureau data, also includes some chemical compounds used in the manufacture of plastics. Reuters previously reported that bibles and religious texts would be spared from the tariff list. The bulk of the items removed from the tariff list were furniture products, including wooden- and metal-framed chairs and those made of plastics. Some of these were previously hit with tariffs as part of broader furniture categories.Baby-related furniture items also were spared, including toddler beds, bassinets, cradles, strollers and children's seats.
