U.S. imports of Chinese golf carts and other recreational buggies have increased sixfold since 2020.
Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Warren Buffett rides in a golf cart at the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference on July 7, 2021, in Sun Valley, Idaho.
“Chinese import volumes have rapidly increased, taking greater consumer vehicle market share while using price benefits from Chinese government subsidies to drive their advantage,” Club Car President and CEO Mark Wagner said in an emailed statement Friday. “We had to take action.” The skirmish between the world’s largest economies is narrow, but it illustrates the scores of loopholes, workarounds, unintended consequences and legal quandaries that accompany the imposition of tariffs across a swath of the economy.
According to the filing, imports of Chinese golf carts and another tariff classification for similar products called “specially designated vehicles” totaled $916 million last year, up from $148 million in 2020.
