China Increased Tariff Rates on 270 US Products on Sept. 1

China has put into place part of the retaliatory tariffs it announced Aug. 23 (see 1908230004). The tariffs increased just after midnight on Sept. 1, just as the latest escalation from the U.S. did. The 10 percent increase in tariff rates applies to 270 products, according to an unofficial translation of a China Customs Tariff Commission document.
