Big-screen TVs and other products you buy that may get more expensive
because of a possible trade war with China
"On a $4,000 TV ... the tariffs might have a several-hundred-dollar
price impact," said David French of the National Retail Federation, an
advocacy group.
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative proposed late Tuesday an
additional 25 percent tariff on an extensive list of Chinese imports that
includes parts for televisions and printers.
The National Retail Federation estimates that access to imported goods
through free trade agreements boosts the purchasing power of the average
American family by $18,000 a year.
Prices for big-screen televisions and some household appliances could go up
significantly if the Trump administration's proposed tariffs on Chinese
imports are enacted.
"On a $4,000 TV ... the tariffs might have a several-hundred-dollar
price impact," said David French, senior vice president for government
relations at the National Retail Federation, an advocacy group.
"We're still assessing the list," French said. "There is
machinery involved in consumer goods. ... There are chemicals listed that we
believe are components of cosmetics and toiletries."

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative proposed late Tuesday an
additional 25 percent tariff on an extensive list of Chinese imports, valued
at $50 billion for the year and ranging from aircraft parts to vaccines. A
public hearing on the list is scheduled for May 15, and filing requests to
appear and comment are due April 23.
Here are some of the consumer-related goods that appeared on the list:
LEDs for backlighting of LCDs
Touch screens without display capabilities for incorporation in apparatus
having a display
Dishwashers
Parts and accessories of printers
Snowplows and snowblowers
Copying machines
Fire extinguishers
Vaccines for human medicine
Vaccines for veterinary medicine
Phonograph records
"Some goods won't be imported at all with a 25 percent tariff, but
prices of domestic goods will go up the full amount of the tariff," said
Nicholas Lardy, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International
Economics in Washington.
But he and other analysts pointed out that for a U.S. economy roughly $18
trillion in size, 25 percent tariffs on $50 billion of Chinese imports will
have a relatively small effect overall on consumer prices.
For example, it is not clear the extent to which tariffs would affect
imports of dishwashers.
Chinese manufacturer Haier, which acquired GE Appliances in 2016, "only
imports a very small number of niche dishwashers designed for small spaces,&
#34; spokesperson Kim Freeman said in an email to CNBC. "We make about
95 percent of our dishwashers in the U.S. in Louisville, Kentucky."
"At this point we are not sure what the impact on consumers will be,"
; Freeman said.
The National Retail Federation estimates that access to imported goods
through free trade agreements boosts the purchasing power of the average
American family by $18,000 a year.
"It's going to be very difficult for the retailer to manage their
supply chain in order to handle these tariffs," French said. "
Consumers may be price sensitive enough that they may slow their holiday
purchases. These may be 'Grinch' tariffs." | h******k

组装的现在比中国的成本还低。
电视的主要部分比如面板、芯片、MOSFET本来就是中国进口逆差的主要来源类产品。
贸易战对手机价格的影响比电视大。 |
