The Trump administration announced on Thursday expenses On the Chinese ships that were created after the United States’ commercial representative by Biden Trump’s departments, China’s actions, policies and practices have found unreasonable, burden or restricted by American trade.
“Shipping and shipping are vital for American economic security and the free flow of trade.” “The Trump administration’s actions will begin in contrast to Chinese hegemony, address the threats of the American supply chain, and send a request signal for ships built in the United States.”
Ustr said that China has largely achieved its dominance by targeting its aggressive and increasingly identifying these sectors, which are American companies, severe leadership, employment and US economy.
The fees will be imposed once for each trip and not for each port, as is the original proposed.
The policy proposal, which started under the Biden administration and reached its climax in the January report The shipbuilding industry in China was an unfair advantageIt would allow the United States government to impose highly slope fees on Chinese ships that reach American ports.
The original proposal called for a service fee of up to one million dollars, to be imposed on all Chinese -owned operators (such as COSCO). The original proposal also said that for non -Chinese ocean companies that contain fleets containing Chinese ships, service fees will be up to $ 1.5 million for each port of American calls.
Ustr admitted this change due to the general comments in the two days of listening sessions on fines in March, where more than 300 commercial groups and other parties concerned. Many warned the government in messages and in a testimony in which the United States was There is no position to win an economic war Which placed ocean carriers using Chinese ships in the middle. Soon after, Chinese ships will represent 98 % of commercial ships in the world’s oceans.
Ship owners can be eligible to obtain a remission of drawings if they can provide evidence of the American shipbuilding order. The remission of the fees depends on the capacity of the net load equal to or less than the ship created in the required United States. The report said: “If the owner of the potential ship does not receive the ship that was created in the United States within three years, the fees will be entitled to immediately,” the report said.
In a statement on Friday, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce called on the United States to stop “convert the blame” and correct its “wrong” practice as soon as possible, according to a Reuters report.
“China will closely monitor relevant developments from the American side and will be taken with the necessary measures to protect its own interests,” according to the statement.
The Global Shipping Council also issued a statement on Friday, explaining in detail “serious concerns” regarding the port fees, describing this step as a “step in the wrong direction.”
She said: “WSC urges the administration to reconsider this reverse measure, which risks harm to consumers, manufacturers and farmers without making progress of meaning towards stimulating the American navy industry.”
