The tonnage or container collection will be applied to the flight of each ship relative to China, the USA, and not to every port.
On April 17, the United States announced new port fees for ships built and operated by China. The Guardian reported it.
According to US trade representative Jamison Greire, most new roles will enter Mid -October.
He added that the actions of US president President Donald Trump would “end Chinese dominance, eliminated threats to the American supply chain and sent a request for demand for courts built in the United States.”
According to the change, a collection of tons or containers will be applied to the flight of each ship related to China, the USA, and not every port, as some industry representatives feared. The collection will be provided up to five times a year and can be canceled if the owner places an order for a ship built in the United States.
Separate fees will also be established for ships operated by China, and for ships built in China. Both fees will gradually increase in the next few years.
For Chinese -MADE ships, the fee starts at $ 18 per ton of net or from $ 120 per container, this means that a ship from 15 thousand containers can bring costs of $ 1.8 million, the material said.
In addition, all vehicles that carry cars and which are not built in the United States will also be taxed in 180 days.
States also introduced new fees for carriers of liquid natural gas, but they will enter the strength three years later.
The duties will not be applied to “sending the Great Lakes or the Caribbean, shipping to the territory of the United States and from there, as well as exporting bulk goods to ships that come to the United States empty,” the grire statement told the information ballot.
The US trade representative also announced the suggested tariffs for some countries to carry goods from the ship to the coast and for Chinese equipment for handling goods.
Remember that in early April, Trump announced the introduction of trade duties against 211 countries and territories. Later, their introduction was postponed for 90 days, but tariffs were preserved for China. Their size was originally 20%, but then in many stages it increased to 145%.
As reported, Beijing introduced the duties, setting them at 125%level.
