The Chinese government on 4 April 2018 announced plan to slap 25% tariff on 106 import products from the USA, of which more than one third is chemical products. Several items, including propane, LDPE, LLDPE, PVC, ethylene-α-olefin copolymers, ACN, PC and polyesters are on the list, which concerns players in the petrochemical sector strongly.

Following is the full list of chemical products that might face the new duties:
