America has pushed back its decision to raise import tariffs on Chinese-made smartphones, laptops, and similar electronics, by 10 per cent, the Office of the US Trade Representative announced today.
From September 1, The Land of the Free will tack the extra levy on $300bn of stuff coming in from the Middle Kingdom. However, for some of that gear, the tariff hike will be delayed to December 15, according to the United States Trade Representative a few hours ago.
