China to impose tariffs of up to 42.7% on some dairy products imported from the

China will impose provisional duties of up to 42.7% on some dairy products imported from the European Union, after completing the first phase of an anti-subsidy investigation, widely seen as retaliation for the bloc's electric vehicle tariffs.

The tariffs will range from 21.9% to 42.7%, although most companies will pay around 30%, and they target products such as milk and cheese, including the iconic French blue cheese Roquefort. The taxes will begin to be collected on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

Monday's decision is provisional and could be reviewed when a final decision is made. China significantly reduced the provisional tariffs on pork in its final decision last week.

Trade tensions with the EU erupted in 2023 when the European Commission, which oversees the bloc's trade policy, launched an investigation into subsidies for electric vehicles made in China.

Beijing has investigated and imposed tariffs on imports of EU brandy, pork and now milk, measures seen as retaliatory.

However, as it did with pork, Beijing has reduced or limited the impact of its tariffs several times, including partially sparing major cognac producers Pernod Ricard, LVMH and Remy Cointreau after its investigation into the brand.

China's Commerce Ministry said negotiations on block tariffs on electric vehicles resumed this month, however the talks were scheduled to end last week and there have been no announcements since. /CNA
