China has announced new penalties on the import of some chicken meats from the United States. The move, due to take effects from next week is to enforce anti-dumping duties on US chicken imports. In just the latest in a series of trade disputes between the two countries, China's Commerce Department accused US poultry firms of exporting the meat at unfairly low prices. The tariffs will start from February 13.<br/><br/>China launched an investigation into US chicken in September, a day after the US put tariffs on Chinese tyres. The duties will primarily hit exports of US chicken wings and feet to China, a big business for US poultry companies.
