First Wave of Chinese Goods Hit by 145% Tariffs Arrives at US Ports
Approximately 12,000 shipping containers, laden with consumer goods from major corporations like Amazon, Home Depot, and Ralph Lauren, have docked at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. These shipments mark the first arrivals subject to President Trump’s steep 145%+ tariffs, imposed following recent trade negotiations.
Seven vessels departed China after the tariff announcement, with five more expected in the coming days. The move signals an immediate financial burden for consumers, as the higher costs of imported goods begin to Ripple through the economy.
