US Customs and Border Protection imposed the new 25% duty on affected US-bound cargoes leaving China after 12:01am on Friday.
Goods in the more than 5,700 affected product categories that left Chinese ports and airports before midnight will be subject to the original 10% duty rate, a CBP spokeswoman said.
Trump gave US importers less than five days notice about his decision to increase the rate on the US$200 billion category of goods to 25%, which now matches the rate on a prior US$50 billion category of Chinese machinery and technology goods. The biggest Chinese import sector affected by the rate hike is a US$20 billion-plus category of internet modems, routers and other data transmission devices, followed by about US$12 billion worth of printed circuit boards used in a vast array of US-made products.
