U.S. companies are bearing the brunt of Trump’s China tariffs, says Moody’s
#1
  • Most of the elevated tariffs imposed at the height of the U.S.-China trade war have remained in place and affect over half of all trade flows between the two countries, said Moody’s.
  • U.S. importers absorbed more than 90% of additional costs resulting from the 20% U.S. tariff on Chinese goods, the ratings agency said in a report.
  • U.S. exporters also absorbed most of the costs from tariffs imposed by China, according to the report.

American businesses are bearing most of the cost burden from the elevated tariffs imposed at the height of the U.S.-China trade war, said Moody’s Investors Service.


The ratings agency said in a Monday report that U.S. importers absorbed more than 90% of additional costs resulting from the 20% U.S. tariff on Chinese goods.

That means U.S. importers pay around 18.5% more in price for a Chinese product subject to that 20% tariff rate, while Chinese exporters receive 1.5% less for the same product, according to the report.
