One of Europe’s biggest farm machinery companies, Krone, has been forced to pause exports of large equipment to the US because of “alarming” and little-known new tariffs that are hitting hundreds of products from knitting needles and hairdryers to combine harvesters.

Among the products on the steel derivatives list drawn up in consultation with US manufacturers, Donald Trump is taxing 407 specific products ranging from tiny embroidery stilettos to cooker hoods, barbecues, fridges, freezers, dishwashers, hair curling tongs, grills, elevators, bridge and railway structures, agriculture equipment and wind turbines.

It has meant that since 18 August, companies such as Krone and the construction company Liebherr in Germany have to provide an unprecedented level of detail to customs border authorities certifying the origin, weight and value of any steel in their products right down to nuts and bolts.

“You have to get paperwork from the supplier to the supplier to the supplier. That is pretty much impossible,” said Oliver Richtberg, the head of foreign trade at the German engineering federation VDMA, one of the most influential trade bodies in Europe.

He described the EU/US trade deal, struck in July, as “not worth the paper it is written on”.

这牛逼，应该学土鳖的，签了贸易协定，你们承诺了投资和减低关税，我依然有办法增加关税。
谈好的15%关税，但是产品里面一个螺丝或者哪怕一根针，因为是铁，需要更多关税。
加拿大产品一样吧？

加拿大可能要看企业是否能拿到哭死马认证，能拿到的应该可以免关税
