Chinese List for 10% Tariffs Includes Food Preparations, Lasers

May 16, 2019 |Top News

China plans to hit a wide range of goods from the U.S. with 10 percent tariffs in response to the Trump administration's increase in tariffs on Chinese goods (see 1905130002). Among the major items by value targeted by China on its 10 percent tariff list are food preparations in 2106.90.90, lasers other than laser diodes in 9013.20.00, and cast glass sheets in 7003.19.00. The tariffs are scheduled to take effect June 1.

China announced four lists of goods: one for goods that will have the tariff go from 10 percent to 25 percent, one for goods that will have 20 percent tariffs, one for goods with a tariff that will go from 5 percent to 10 percent and one for goods with a tariff that will stay at 5 percent.
