Underwear, clothing, hats, shoes and socks… Data shows that the amount of women’s clothing and footwear imported by the United States from China greatly exceeds that of similar products for men. The United States has provoked economic and trade frictions and continuously imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, which means that American women will suffer more losses.
J.C. Penney, a large American department store, also stated in a document submitted to the Office of the United States Trade Representative that the new tariffs will have the greatest impact on the company and its customers. Among the products, 13 are women’s products, and the new round of tariffs will have a wide impact on female consumers.
Data released by the U.S. International Trade Commission shows that in 2018, American families spent an average of approximately $665 on women’s and girls’ clothing, and $665 on men’s and boys’ clothing. for $427. Tamara Gurevich, an economist at the agency, said that because women spend more on clothing, “women (are affected by tariffs) are more affected than men.”
On the other hand, there is a clear gap between the share and the total amount of women’s and men’s clothing imported by the United States from China. Compared with male consumers, American female consumers are more dependent on “Made in China”.
As the new round of tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese goods exported to the United States includes more daily consumer goods, American households will have to bear higher consumption costs, especially It is low-income families that will be hit harder.
