After Sunday’s move, 87% of textiles and
clothing the United States buys from China and
52% of shoes will be subject to import taxes.
On Dec. 15, the Trump administration is
scheduled to impose a second round of 15%
tariffs — this time on roughly $160 billion of
imports. If those duties take effect, virtually all
goods imported from China will be covered.
The Chinese government has released a list
of American imports targeted for penalties on
Dec. 15 if the U.S. tariff hikes take effect. In
total, Beijing says Sunday’s penalties and the
planned December increases will apply
to $75 billion of American goods.
