U.S. Moves to Block a Popular Tariff-Free Path for Chinese Goods
Published On Sep 13, 2024, 7:00 AM
The Biden administration has announced the implementation of new tariffs on a range of Chinese products, including clothing, solar panels, electric vehicles, and steel, with tariffs ranging between 7.5% and 100%. This move is aimed at supporting American manufacturing and reducing reliance on Chinese imports, while also addressing concerns about rising import costs amid ongoing inflation. The administration plans to limit a tariff exemption rule that previously allowed many small packages from China to enter the U.S. tariff-free, which will likely impact popular online marketplaces like Shein and Temu.
