U.S. Tariffs & Trade

The Club, and particularly our global offices in New York and Hong Kong, are closely monitoring developments in relation to the USTR section 301 Investigation and recent ‘reciprocal tariff’ announcements from the United States and China.

This page is designed to keep Members up to date with the latest industry information and updates from our correspondents and other recognised sources regarding developments in the United States and China. Please bear in mind that the situation is dynamic, and the operational status of these tariffs is subject to change at any time – Members are therefore advised to contact their local agents for the latest advice.
