BEIJING, March 4 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- China will impose additional tariffs on some products imported from the United States, effective from March 10, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council said Tuesday, reported Xinhua.
An additional 15 per cent tariff will be imposed on imported chicken, wheat, corn and cotton originating from the United States, according to a statement from the commission.
Sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, aquatic products, fruits, vegetables and dairy products will be subject to an additional 10 per cent tariff.
The statement comes after the US imposition of an additional 10 per cent tariff on products imported from China, effective from March 4.
The unilateral imposition of tariffs by the United States undermines the multilateral trading system, increases the burden on American businesses and consumers, and erodes the foundation of China-US economic and trade cooperation, the commission said in the statement.
