Twelve hours after China said it would retaliate against U.S. President Donald Trump’s next round of tariffs by raising taxes on American goods, Trump said he would bolster existing tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods to 30% from 25% on Oct. 1, including duties on bolts, screws and other fasteners manufactured in China. Trump also said the U.S. would tax another $300 billion worth of Chinese imports at a 15% rate, which includes all iron and steel nuts (HTS subheading 7318.16.00) imported from China.
