The first shipping containers carrying Chinese products that are subject to President Donald Trump’s 145% tariffs have begun arriving in U.S. ports.
Seven ships carrying upward of 12,000 containers that sailed from China after those tariffs took effect have arrived at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, in California. Five more such ships are scheduled to arrive there in coming days.
Amazon, Home Depot, Ikea, Ralph Lauren and Tractor Supply are among the companies with Chinese goods in these containers, spanning a wide range of consumer items.
In addition to housewares, apparel, and furniture, Amazon

Tractor Supply shipments include portable drum fans, garden tools, and men’s work boots.
Lamps and ceiling fans have been processed through customs for Home Depot.
