Additional duties on US goods raised to 125%

China has responded to United States' "reciprocal tariffs" by raising its additional tariffs on US goods from 84 percent to 125 percent, effective Saturday, according to an online notice issued by the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council, China's Cabinet, on Friday.

Beijing's latest countermeasures followed the US move to raise the "reciprocal tariffs" on Chinese imports to 125 percent on Thursday.

The commission said that, given that current tariff levels have rendered US exports to China commercially unviable, China will no longer respond to any additional tariff increases the US may impose on Chinese goods.
