US locks in steep China tariff hikes, many to start Sept. 27

Hindustan Times  

* US locks in steep China tariff hikes, many to start Sept. 27 USTR maintains tariffs of 100% on Chinese EVs, 50% on semiconductors, 25% on batteries, steel * USTR doubles tariffs on Chinese face masks, surgical gloves syringes * US adds China tariff exclusions on five machinery categories * White House adviser says tariffs counteract 'unfair' China EV cost advantage By David Lawder Sept 13 - The Biden administration on Friday locked in steep tariff hikes on Chinese imports, including a 100% duty on electric vehicles, to strengthen protections for strategic domestic industries from China's state-driven excess production capacity. The U.S. Trade Representative's office told Reuters that many of the tariffs, including a 100% duty on Chinese EVs, 50% on solar cells and 25% on steel, aluminum, EV batteries and key minerals, would go into effect on Sept. 27. Adjustments to the punitive "Section 301" tariffs on $18 billion worth of goods announced in May by President Joe Biden were minimal and disregarded auto industry pleas for lower tariffs on graphite and critical minerals needed for EV battery production because they are still too dependent on Chinese supplies. USTR said it will allow exclusions from the tariffs for any Chinese port cranes that were ordered prior to the May 14 initial tariff announcements, as long as they are delivered by May 14, 2026.
