On April 4, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council decided to impose a tariff of 25% on 14 categories of 106 products such as soybeans, automobiles, and chemical products originating in the United States, including 44 types of chemicals, including liquefied propane, some ethylene polymers, and acrylic acid. Polymers, Acrylonitrile, Pure Polyvinyl Chloride, Polycarbonates, Methyl Phosphonates, Epoxy Resins, etc. Increasing the tariffs on certain chemical products exported to China will indirectly increase the sales prices of domestic production of such chemical companies, but increase the cost of importing such chemical companies.
