2019-06-21 09:34:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Apple has sent a letter to the US government, urging it to reconsider a new set of proposed tariffs on goods from China. The company sent the letter, shown by the Verge, to US Trade Representative Robert Lightizer, saying the new tariffs would affect Apple's global competitiveness. They would not impact Chinese or other competitors; this would therefore tilt the playing filed in favour of these international competitors. The letter explains USTR's proposal is to impose tariffs of up to 25 percent on a fourth set of products imported from China. This round would include all of Apple's major products, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, AirPods and AppleTV, as well as parts and battteries used to repair products in the US and Apple accessories such as monitors and keyboards.
