HKSAR Government expresses strong disapproval of US's imposition of additional duty on products of Hong Kong
******************************************************************************************
     The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) today (March 4) expressed strong disapproval of the US's imposition of a further 10 per cent duty on products of Hong Kong (i.e. a cumulative 20 per cent duty).
 
     A spokesman for the HKSAR Government said, "The US's measure is grossly inconsistent with the relevant World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, undermines the rules-based multilateral trading system and harms the interest of both parties. The HKSAR Government once again urges the US to take immediate actions to rectify its wrongdoing and withdraw the unilateral tariff measures.
 
      "The HKSAR Government strongly opposes any unreasonable behaviour that disregards the international trade order. As announced earlier, the HKSAR Government will file a complaint regarding the matter with the WTO to defend our legitimate rights," the spokesman reiterated.
