U.S. Tariffs and Trade Policies: Developing Strategies to Overcome International Supply Chain Disruptions

In July the United States Trade Representative (USTR) implemented an immediate 10 percent tariff on $34 billion worth of Chinese imported goods; and another $16 billion the following week. The tariffs focused on 818 Chinese products that contained “industrially significant technologies”; a few weeks later, another list containing 6,031 more products was released that taxed an additional $200 billion worth of imported goods. By the end of this year, total taxed imports goods could be expected to total $500 billion. What’s more, in January 2019, the 10 percent tariff will increase to 25 percent.
