WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration said Wednesday it will impose new limits on imports of clothing from China. The action follows complaints that a surge of Chinese apparel to the United States was hurting U.S. companies.
The administration will restrict a number of items that China can ship to the United States: men's and boys cotton and man-made fiber shirts, man-made fiber trousers, man-made fiber knit shirts and blouses and combed cotton yarn that China.
American retailers are concerned that the move will raise the prices of these goods for U.S. consumers.
The government committee, led by the Commerce Department, that decided to set the new quotas found that those categories of imports threatened to disrupt the U.S. market.
In an earlier sign of the trade tensions between the two countries, the administration last week said it was re-imposing quotas on three categories of clothing imports from China _ cotton trousers, cotton knit shirts and underwear. |
