ADDITIONAL US TARRIFF CONDEMNED

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government today expressed strong disapproval of the imposition by the US of a further 10% duty, resulting in a cumulative 20% duty, on products from Hong Kong.

Stressing that it strongly opposes any actions that disregard the order of international trade, the Hong Kong SAR Government said the measure is grossly inconsistent with the World Trade Organization’s rules, undermines the rules-based multilateral trading system, and harms the interests of both Hong Kong and the US.

The Hong Kong SAR Government once again urged the US to immediately withdraw its unilateral tariff measures. It said it will also file a complaint with the World Trade Organization to defend Hong Kong’s legitimate rights.
