Aranceles relacionados con China

According to the Voice of America radio website reported on August 31, the Biden administration on the same day again delayed the announcement of high tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, batteries, semiconductors and solar cells, and said it would announce a final decision in the next few days.

A spokesman for the US Trade Representative's office said the agency was "continuing to develop a final decision on proposed changes" to tariffs imposed on Chinese goods by then-US President Donald Trump in 2018 and 2019. "The Office of the United States Trade Representative continues to develop a final decision on proposed modification actions in response to the Section 301 investigation of China's conduct, policies, and practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation." 

Agency spokesman said in a statement. "As USTR continues this work, we expect to announce a final decision in the coming days," the spokesperson said. US President Joe Biden announced in May that tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles would be raised to 100 percent, on semiconductors and solar cells to 50 percent, and on lithium-ion batteries and key minerals, steel and aluminum, port cranes and syringes to 25 percent. The new tariffs were initially set to take effect on August 1. 

But the U.S. Trade Representative's office said it needed more time to study more than 1,100 public comments from industry. It set a new deadline of Aug. 31, but the Aug. 31 announcement pushed that deadline further.
