BEIJING (AP) \u2014 Many U.S. companies operating in China expect their sales to take a hit this year from U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s tariffs<\/a> and the ones that China has imposed in response, according to an annual survey released Wednesday by the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai.<\/p>\n

Nearly two-thirds of the 254 companies who responded said the new tariffs have reduced expected revenues for their China operations in 2025. About one-third, many in banking and other industries that don\u2019t import from or export to the U.S., don\u2019t expect any impact.<\/p>\n

Trump has imposed an additional 30% tax on imports from China, after raising them at one point to 145% before the two countries agreed in May to scale back<\/a> a tit-for-tat tariff war. China has responded with a 10% tax on U.S. imports. <\/p>\n

The tariffs hit companies that export to the U.S. and those that import American parts or ingredients for their production in China, such as chemical companies, Shanghai chamber leaders said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTariffs have had a huge impact on our operations,\u201d said Eric Zheng, the president of the group.<\/p>\n

The two sides are holding trade talks, but where they are headed on tariffs and other issues is unclear. The uncertainty is a challenge for companies that need to make plans for the future, Zheng said.<\/p>\n

American courts have ruled that most of Trump\u2019s tariffs are an illegal use of a U.S. emergency powers law, but the import taxes remain in place as his administration appeals the case<\/a> to the Supreme Court. <\/p>\n

The Shanghai chamber survey, conducted from May 19 to June 20, found that manufacturers are being hit the hardest by the tariffs, with close to three-quarters saying the import taxes would reduce their 2025 China revenues.<\/p>\n

Respondents named U.S.-China tensions as their top challenge for the next three to five years.
