US raises tariffs on metals and critical minerals from China

The US has imposed new tariffs of 25% on imports of important metals and critical minerals from China.

US raises tariffs on metals and critical minerals from China

The US Trade Representative (USTR) announced new tariffs on imports from China under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Accordingly, in order to protect US national security, as of September 27, 2024, a 25% tariff will be imposed on Chinese imports of ferronickel, steel and critical minerals such as cobalt, chromium, manganese and tungsten.

Previous tariffs ranged from 0% to 7.5%. This regulation was taken as a measure against China's trade practices as a result of the investigations launched in 2022 and aims to prevent unfair competition, especially in the steel and aluminum sectors.

The new tariffs cover key industrial materials entering the US, particularly those used in steel production and technology manufacturing. US imports of ferro-nickel and ferro-chrome from China have declined over the past three years, and China has been at the bottom of the US import list in these areas.

The HS codes of the products that will be subject to high duties are as follows:

Other Critical Minerals: 2602.00.00, 2605.00.00, 2606.00.00, 2608.00.00, 2610.00.00, 2611.00.60
