Clothing - 42% of all clothing sold in the U.S. is imported from China. Footwear (sneakers, sandals, ski boots) - 70% of the footwear sold in the U.S. is imported from China. Smartwatches - Some consumer electronics — like smart watches, fitness trackers, and Bluetooth headphones like Air Pods — will see tariffs. Sporting goods like tennis balls, footballs, soccer balls, baseballs, and softballs. Smartphones such as iPhones, and most importantly china iPhone manufacturing.

If a trade deal isn't reached, JP Morgan estimates Trump’s tariffs will cost the average American household $1,000 in 2019 and President Trump has threatened to raise that to 15%. President Donald Trump announced double-barreled new tariffs on Chinese imports Friday after Beijing said it would retaliate against Trump's latest duties with its own tariffs on $75 billion in U.S. products. On Sept. 1, 2019, a tariff on some of the $300 billion in Chinese imports that was slated to be 10% instead will be 15%, Trump said. It's not clear how much of the new tariffs will be passed to American shoppers and how much can be absorbed by U.S. retailers, but at least a portion is likely to result in higher retail prices.
