The U.S. is scheduled to start raising tariffs on more than $30 billion in Chinese imports in two weeks.
China has promised to retaliate immediately, putting the world's two largest economies at odds.
The American motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson has announced that spiraling costs from tariffs have let it begin shifting production of its vehicles headed for Europe to overseas factories.
The company said in a regulatory filing Monday that EU tariffs on its motorcycles exported from the United States jumped between six percent and 31 percent, which it says translates into an additional cost of about $2,200 per average motorcycle.
The company said increasing international production represents the only sustainable option to make its motorcycles affordable to European customers.

U.N. and international aid agencies are working around the clock to lessen the risks of flooding and landslides caused by monsoon rains in Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.
Correspondent Lisa Schlein reports for VOA from Geneva.
Humanitarian agencies estimate 200,000 of the more than 700,000 Rohingya refugees that have fled to Cox's Bazaar since August to escape violence in Myanmar are likely to be most affected by this disaster.
Surveys late last year showed the refugees were 15 percent above the WHO malnutrition emergency threshold.
The agencies are appealing for support from the international community, saying the situation in Cox's Bazaar is desperate and will become worse in the coming weeks.
