Eviralnews,, citing Rashatoudi, US Trade Representative Catherine Tay announced in a press release on Friday that Washington has finalized the increase in import tariffs on Chinese goods worth billions of dollars.
The new duties will significantly affect goods such as electric vehicles and chips.

According to the final document published on Thursday, September 12, duties on electric vehicles will increase to 100 percent, solar cells to 50 percent, and electric vehicle batteries, steel, aluminum, face masks, and some other products to 25 percent.
According to this report, a 50% increase in the tariff on the import of chips is going to be implemented from next year.
Duties on a number of other Chinese products, such as non-electric vehicle batteries, medical gloves and permanent magnets, will gradually increase over the next two years.
Today's final tariff increases will target harmful policies and practices of the People's Republic of China that continue to affect American workers and businesses, Tay said in the statement.
He reiterated that these actions are aimed at defending “American workers and businesses against unfair trade practices.”
US officials have repeatedly identified China as America's main “rival” and have intensified economic restrictions against the country since 2018 with the actions of then-President Donald Trump.
Despite repeated warnings from Beijing that China would respond in kind, Biden has continued to do so.
Wang Wenbin, a former spokesman for China's foreign ministry, previously said that the US actions “violate global trade rules.”
