Glo new tariff
You're referring to the new tariffs imposed by the US government on certain goods imported from China!
As of September 2019, the United States has imposed a 15% tariff on approximately $112 billion worth of Chinese goods, including:
- Electronics: Smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices
- Toys: Dolls, action figures, puzzles, and other toys
- Clothing: Shoes, hats, scarves, and other apparel
- Furniture: Sofas, chairs, tables, and other household furniture
- Home appliances: Refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, and other appliances
- Textiles: Fabrics, yarns, and other textile products
- Footwear: Shoes, boots, sandals, and other footwear
- Handbags: Handbags, wallets, and other leather goods
- Sports equipment: Bicycles, golf clubs, tennis rackets, and other sports equipment
- Musical instruments: Guitars, violins, pianos, and other musical instruments
These tariffs are in addition to the 25% tariff already imposed on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods, which includes:
- Machinery: Industrial machinery, engines, and other mechanical equipment
- Vehicles: Cars, trucks, buses, and other vehicles
- Aerospace: Aircraft, helicopters, and other aerospace products
- Chemicals: Chemicals, plastics, and other chemical products
- Metals: Steel, aluminum, copper, and other metals
- Food and beverages: Coffee, tea, wine, and other food and beverage products
The tariffs are intended to pressure China to make concessions on issues such as intellectual property protection, forced technology transfer, and market access. However, the tariffs have also led to retaliatory measures from China, and the trade war has had significant impacts on global trade and the economy.
It's worth noting that the tariffs are not uniform and can vary depending on the specific product and the country of origin. Additionally, some products may be exempt from the tariffs or may have alternative tariffs applied.
