Approximately $16 billion worth of Chinese imports will be subject to a 25 percent tariff come August 23, the US Trade Representative has announced, citing China’s ongoing “unfair trade practices.”


This is the second tranche of tariffs following the July 6 levy on approximately $34 billion worth of Chinese goods, the USTR said. The final list of products contains 279 lines, down from 284 that were originally proposed.

[무역전쟁] 미국 160억 달러 규모 대중국 관세부과 확정


미국은 160억 달러의 중국 제품에 대해 새로운 관세를 확정한다


미국 무역 대표부는 중국의 불공정 거래 행위를 이유로 8월 23일부터 약 160억달러어치의 중국 수입품에 대해 25%관세가 부과될 것이라고 발표했다.


이는 약 340억달러 상당의 중국 상품에 대한 7월 6일의 세금 부과에 이어두번째 관세 대응 조치라고 미국 무역 대표부는 말했다. 최종 제재 대상 제품 은 원래 계획했던 284개에서 다소 줄어든 279개 품목이다.

Explaining the decision, the USTR cited an “exhaustive” investigation that found China using joint venture requirements, investment restrictions and licensing procedures to pressure US companies into technology transfers. Beijing also directs and “unfairly facilitates” the investment into and acquisition of US companies in order to achieve large-scale technology transfers, the USTR claimed.




The trade representative’s office also accused China of “cyber intrusions into US commercial computer networks to gain unauthorized access to commercially valuable business information.”


The list of products impacted by the tariffs includes an array of lubricants, plastics and polymers, tractor engines, electric motors, railway cars, “fertilizer distributors” and some measuring instruments, among others.


Beijing has already threatened to retaliate against US products in kind, warning Washington against “blackmailing and pressuring.”


“If the US takes measures to further escalate the situation, we will surely take countermeasures to uphold our legitimate rights and interests,” Geng Shuang, spokesman for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told reporters last week, in response to US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer’s announcement he was considering a list of thousands of Chinese products worth $200 billion that could face additional 10-percent tariffs.
