China's announcement of 25% tariffs on U.S. made cars creates tension among top global carmakers

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

President Donald Trump last Friday announced 30% tariffs will be levied on US$250 billion of Chinese imports from October 1, up from the current 25 per cent. New tariffs set for Sept. 1 would increase to 15 per cent from current 10 per cent. The announcement came after Beijing had declared that it would place added tariffs on U.S. goods, including light vehicles. China said that it would impose additional tariffs on a total of US$75 billion of U.S. goods in retaliation for Trump’s latest planned levies on Chinese imports, creating panic among automakers and raising fears of an extended trade war.

Some of China's counter tariffs will take effect starting Sept. 1, while the rest will come into effect from Dec. 15, according to the announcement from the Ministry of Commerce. China announced a 25 per cent duty on U.S. cars to be resumed from Dec. 15.

Beijing earlier waived a 25 per cent duty on light vehicles from the U.S. as a positive gesture towards starting trade talks between the two countries.

Among automakers, Ford Motor Co., Tesla Inc. and Germany’s Daimler and BMW Group are likely to be affected the most by the additional levies. Ford exports vehicles like the Lincoln MKC and Ford Explorer crossovers to China. Jeep and Lexus also exports vehicles to China from U.S. plants. BMW and Daimler export large numbers of utility vehicles from U.S. plants to China. Tesla is yet to start making electric vehicles in the country. Six of the top ten vehicles exporters from the U.S. to China, world’s largest automotive market are German brands.

"When these tariffs were initially imposed by China in 2017, American exports of finished vehicles dropped by 50 percent. We can’t let that happen to American workers again," added Bozzella, who also is CEO of the Association of Global Automakers, a trade group representing top vehicle brands.

According to Sinomach Auto, the country's top vehicle importer, China imported 190,118 vehicles from U.S. in 2018, a decline of 35 per cent from 2017 driven by trade tensions and tariff adjustments.
