BEIJING, May 12 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump is set to arrive in Beijing this week for a summit with President Xi Jinping, where U.S. officials say energy and agriculture deals are expected.
Much of that trade has been disrupted by tariffs.
Here is a summary of China’s tariffs:
• Crude oil: 20%Includes China’s 10% product specific tariff on U.S. crude oil announced in February, plus the broader 10% additional tariff on all U.S. imports.
• LNG: 25%Includes China’s 15% tariff on U.S. LNG announced in February, plus the 10% levy on all U.S. imports.
• Propane and ethane: 11%Includes China’s existing 1% import tariff on propane and ethane and 10% levy on all U.S. imports.
• Coal: 28% to 31%Includes China’s existing 3% to 6% import tariff on coal, which varies because of the coal’s volatile matter, plus a 15% retaliatory tariff on U.S. coal announced in February and the 10% levy on all U.S. imports.
• Soybeans: 13%Includes China’s 10% levy on all U.S. imports, plus a 3% most-favoured-nation tariff on soybean imports.
• Beef: 22% to 77% Includes China’s 12% on most-favoured-nation tariff on beef and 10% levy on all U.S. imports. If imports exceed quota levels, they face an extra 55% tariff under a system Beijing introduced in December to support its domestic cattle industry.
