Imports of US grown chicken, wheat, corn, and cotton will face an extra 15% tariff, while the tariff on sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, seafood, fruit, vegetables, and dairy products will be increased by 10%.

Summary

China will impose additional tariffs of up to 15% on U.S. farm products like chicken, pork, soy, and beef starting March 10, in response to U.S. tariff hikes.

Goods in transit are exempt until April 12. Beijing also added 10 U.S. firms to its unreliable entity list and restricted 15 others over national security concerns.

Despite tensions, analysts note both sides showed restraint. China remains a major U.S. farm product importer but is trying to diversify sources.

Future negotiations depend on U.S. actions.
