Delay in tariffs on China

On August 13rd, The USTR released a 21-page list of Chinese imports that won't face new tariffs until Dec 15 at the earliest, including cellphones, laptops, clothes, toys, baby products such as strollers, highchairs and diapers, microwave ovens, musical instruments, sleeping bags and fishing reels.

Tariffs on certain products, including laptops and cellphones, had been scheduled to start next month. A 10 percent tariff on products such as flat-screen TVs, contact lenses, lithium ion batteries and snowblowers is still scheduled to go into effect Sept 1. And some other imports were removed outright from the list.
