Tariff Hike Will Affect Chemicals

May 10, 2019

Last night, tariffs on 200 billion dollars worth of material imported from China increased from 10% to 25%.

The increase does include a number of commodity chemicals, and is likely to affect the global market. A few chemicals that could be potentially impacted are:

• Sodium Hydroxide
• Titanium Dioxide
• Acetic Acid
• Phosphates

For the complete list of items affected, see Tariff List-09.17.18.

CORECHEM continues to monitor the effect of the tariffs on commodity chemicals, and we have already taken steps necessary to minimize the impact on our customers.
