The United States will apply, as of August 23, 25% tariffs on a total of $ 50 billion of Chinese imports, in response to its "unfair trading practices," the US Commerce Department said in a statement.
The measure had been anticipated by the White House amid a trade dispute with China that seeks to reduce the US trade deficit with the country.
Washington began imposing additional tariffs on July 6 at $ 34 billion worth of Asian imports.
The new provision extends the measure to an additional $ 16 billion in Chinese products.
According to official information, 279 products will be affected in response to "unfair trade practices in China, such as forced technology transfers and intellectual property rights," the statement said.
The list of goods on which the tariff will weigh will be published in the official bulletin.
The Trump government accuses Beijing of "depriving US companies of the ability to exploit licenses," the ministry said.
It also denounces "cybernetic intrusions in US commercial digital networks to gain unauthorized access to important business information."
