The new tariffs will come into effect 1 June. This follows the decision by the US to raise tariffs on US$200bn of Chinese products.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In setting a 1 June deadline for the introduction of the higher tariffs both sides have created a window for negotiations as there are nearly three weeks until the tariffs would apply to shipments leaving each country.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts in the UK have assessed the likely cost to US importers of the tariff increases. Top of the list is telecommunications equipment where tariffs could add US$19 billion to the cost of imports. The cost increase on wooden furniture imports could be as much as US$3 billion and that on seats with wooden frames around US$2.5 billion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consequences for the wood products industry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The US is the biggest buyer for Chinese wood product exports. The largest category of wood products to be affected by the tariffs is the wooden furniture products, which reached 11.3 billion m3 in volume exports to the US. Also, 40% of all wooden furniture exported by China goes to the US.<\/p>\n<p>The new round of tariffs is significantly far-ranging in the types of products affected. Plywood with softwood faces will most likely be affected, as well as most types of engineered wood panels. Flooring is another category to be seriously affected. Chinese producers of multi-layer wood flooring have already been suffering from US antidumping duties imposed a few years back.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese counter-duties include a wide range of logs, lumber and panels exported to China from the US and come as a huge blow, as China is the biggest buyer of US wood products. Moreover, US hardwood lumber producers depends on the with the Chinese market having an approximately 50% share of all US exports.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the sawmills in the US will be severely affected as they will have to find other clients for these volumes, though they will also benefit from a higher availability of logs once the Chinese hardwood logs trade is reduced significantly.<\/p>\n<p>Future alternatives are hard for the Chinese importers too, so the cost of tariffs will, most likely, split between the US exporters and the Chinese buyers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wood products that will be
