US removes some Chinese furniture, modems from planned 10 per cent tariffs

WASHINGTON - The Trump administration is sparing some Chinese-made household furniture, baby items and Internet modems and routers from its next rounds of 10 per cent tariffs, it said on Friday .

Mr Trump on Tuesday delayed more than half of the proposed tariffs until December, saying it would help shield businesses and consumers from the US-China trade war fallout during the Christmas selling season. Friday's exclusion would avoid a further 10 per cent hike as Mr Trump imposes tariffs on Sept 1 to products in the same broad customs category, including smart watches, smart speakers and Bluetooth headphones.

Baby-related furniture items also were spared, including toddler beds, bassinets, cradles, strollers and children's seats.
