China challenges Trump tariffs at WTO as package shippers warn of chaos
WASHINGTON - China filed a World Trade Organization complaint on Wednesday against U.S. President Donald Trump's new 10% tariff on Chinese imports and his cancellation of a duty-free exemption for low-value packages, arguing the actions are "protectionist" and break WTO rules.
The WTO said China submitted a request for consultations with the U.S. on the tariffs. China argues in the document that Trump's new duties aimed at halting the flow of fentanyl opioids and their precursor chemicals to the U.S. "are imposed on the basis of unfounded and false allegations concerning China."
But such a victory would be unlikely to bring Beijing relief because the WTO's Appellate Body has been largely inoperable for years, as the U.S. has blocked the appointment of appellate judges over what it views as judicial overreach by the body. This has prohibited a final decision in the 2020 case.The U.S.
USPS said in a statement it was working with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency to implement an efficient collection mechanism for the new China tariffs to minimize disruptions to deliveries.On Wednesday, there was still no call scheduled between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss the new U.S. tariffs and Beijing's retaliatory measures, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Currently, de minimis parcels are consolidated so customs can clear hundreds or thousands of shipments at once, but they will now require individual clearances, significantly increasing the burden for postal services, brokers and customs agents, Cori said.
