While the other countries are in the process of negotiating lower tariffs during the 90-day pause, the battle between China and the U.S. is heating up.
Ahead of the 245% hike on Tuesday, the New York Times report broke down the China tariffs on various products imported into the U.S.
According to that report, the imports of syringes and needles had the highest tariff rate of 245%, followed by lithium-ion batteries of 173%, squid with 170%, wool sweaters with 169%, and 159% on plastic dishes. While these were the top five tariffed products, the children’s books had 0% tariff, being the lowest tariffed products.
