These new tariffs will officially take effect on October 14 this year.

The proclamation further states that tariff rates will increase significantly starting January 1.

Upholstered wooden products will then face a 30% tariff rate.

Soomin leads Moutai Singapore Open, rekindles 2011 memories

Soomin Lee surged into the lead at the halfway stage of the Moutai Singapore Open after carding an impressive eight-under-par 64 to reach 12-under overall. The Korean ended his round with back-to-back birdies, rekindling memories of his runner-up finish at the same course during the 2011 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship. Lee, who owns one DP World Tour title and five Korean PGA wins, said his past success in Singapore gives him confidence as he chases a much-needed result to secure his Asian Tour card for next year. A group of 10 players sit two shots behind, including Kevin Yuan, Matthew Cheung, Ian Snyman, Wang Wei-hsuan, John Catlin, Sarit Suwannarut, James Piot, Caleb Surratt, Ollie Schniederjans, and Jeunghun Wang.
