China Imposes New Port Fees on US Vessels in Response to US Tariffs

China is now counteracting the USA and introducing special port fees for American vessels. American vessels that dock at a Chinese port will have to pay 400 yuan, just over 500 Swedish kronor, per net ton, the fee will then be increased to 640 yuan in April next year.

The message is a response to the USA introducing similar fees against Chinese vessels. Both countries' fees will come into effect on Tuesday next week.
