On August 1, 2019 President Trump announced that there will be an additional 10% tariff (now 15%) placed on the remaining goods from China that are not currently covered under Section 301, effective September 1. Some goods have been removed from the list based on health, safety, national security, and other factors.
Certain Items Delayed Until Dec 15
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) has officially announced the next steps for those tariffs. In these next steps, the USTR has revealed that—for certain products—the 10% tariff (now 15%) will be delayed until December 15. Some of these products include cell phones, laptop computers, video game consoles, certain toys, computer monitors, and certain items of footwear and clothing.
