SAN FRANCISCO - Sports footwear and apparel will be hit the hardest among many other sporting goods by the fourth round of tariffs to be imposed by the US administration on Chinese-made products, said the industry on Wednesday .
While the tariffs for List 4A targeting sports footwear and textile products will come into effect on Sept 1, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday postponed the duties on List 4B which covers mobile phones, laptop computers and toys to Dec 15, sometime after the start of the Christmas shopping spree.
Apart from the hardest-hit footwear and apparel, sports equipment, headgear and components are also tagged for new tariffs, said the Sports and Fitness Industry Association, which represents more than 1,000 sporting goods and fitness brands, manufacturers, retailers and marketers in the United States.
The Sports and Fitness Industry Association has been engaged in mobilising its members to petition for exemption from the tariffs since the beginning of the trade disputes between the two countries last year.
