- The United States:
On September 1, 2019 the US increased to 25% the tariffs on Chinese products imposed on September 24, 2018 (List 3). From October 1, 2019, the additional tariffs were expected to increase a 5% to reach 30%.
However, on September 11, 2019, the US postponed the imposition of the 5% extra tariffs by two weeks, meaning that tariffs would have entered into force on October 15, 2019. Finally, the additional 5% tariffs were not imposed, because on October 11, 2019, the US and China reached an agreement for a trade deal which would be signed by the end of November or December, 2019. No announcements were made regarding the additional tariffs to be imposed from December 15, 2019.
