China May Raise Import Duties on U.S. Products
China indicated today that it will increase import duties on some U.S.-origin products if the U.S. does not abide by the WTO Appellate Body's ruling and remove the safeguard measures on impoted steel products. So far, China has not issued a list of products on which tariffs would be increased.
In a separate trade dispute, two senior Chinese officials have summoned U.S. Ambassador Clark Randt this week to express their concerns over the recent decision by the U.S. to impose import quotas on certain Chinese textile products.
