US extends deadline for Chinese imports before increasing tariffs

[WASHINGTON] US officials are granting Chinese exporters two more weeks to get their products into the United States before increasing tariffs on those items, according to a US government notice posted online on Friday.

The United States Trade Representative said it was extending the deadline from June 1 to June 15 for certain products to enter the United States without being subject to an additional 25 per cent tariff.
