Additional 15% tariffs on Chinese imports to America to affect clothes, footwear and food

Washington moved ahead Sunday with new tariffs on Chinese imports, AFP reports.

The additional 15% tariffs are affecting around USD 112 billion in goods from the Asian giant. More than two thirds of Chinese imports will now be affected by the increased tariffs.

The new tariffs will target a range of products, from foodstuffs (ketchup, butchered meat, pork sausage, fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese) to sports equipment (golf clubs, surf boards, bicycles), to musical instruments, sportswear and furniture, according to an official list.

More than USD 250 billion worth of China's USD 540 billion in exports to the US (2018 figure) are already subject to tariffs. Some Chinese products will not be affected until December 15, AFP adds.
