Content is currently unavailable.

The US government has published a list of 5,745 Chinese items that will be subject to new tariffs starting on Monday.

The new 10% tariffs will be imposed on $200bn worth of Chinese goods that are imported into the US every year, including seafood, tobacco, make-up and chemicals.

These upcoming tariffs, combined with the existing 25% tariffs on $50bn in Chinese goods, will cover nearly half of all imports that the US receives from China each year.

The United States imports more goods from China than any other nation in the world.
