Donald Trump has excluded smartphones, laptops and other consumer electronics from his “reciprocal tariffs”, but 46 of the 50 items the US most relies on China for are still subject to the levies.
Analysis of items with a total import value of more than $1bn shows the potential impact the new measures could have on US consumers.
More than three-quarters of the video game consoles, food processors and electric fans imported into the US last year were made in China. Anyone hoping to purchase toys will also have to grapple with higher prices. China made 75 per cent of the dolls, tricycles, scooters and other wheeled toys delivered to US consumers from abroad last year.
