US tariffs on imports from dozens of countries came into force Wednesday, including 104% on goods from China.The tariff rates range from 11% to 50% on most trading partners, while Washington has imposed a total tariff of 104% on China, following US President Donald Trump's announcement of an extra 50% tariff on top of the 54% tariff he had already announced.US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirmed that it was preparing to collect country-specific tariffs from 86 nations.CBP also said that it has already collected more than $4.8 billion in tariffs on Chinese imports, more than $2 billion on Mexican imports and about $861 million on Canadian imports.Cambodia faces a tariff rate of 49%, Vietnam 46%, Thailand 36%, and Japan 24%. A 20% tariff has been imposed on imports from Germany and the European Union.China said Friday that it will impose reciprocal 34% tariffs on all imports from the United States from April 10. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce described the US action as ‘a mistake on top of a mistake’ and ‘blackmail,’ emphasizing that Beijing ‘will fight to the end’ to defend its economic interests. (
