House China Panel Urges Probe of Anker Over Tariff Compliance
The House China committee is asking the US government to investigate a Chinese company called Anker.
They believe Anker is unfairly avoiding paying taxes on its products by mislabeling them or sending them through other countries first.
The committee claims Anker got money from the Chinese government, which could have given them an advantage in the US market.
Anker makes chargers and power banks that are popular in the US, and even Apple sells their products.
The company said it is checking into the claims, but the government may want to see if Anker is playing fair.
The House China committee wants the Commerce Department to investigate Anker.
Anker is accused of dodging US tariffs through misclassification and routing.
The committee alleges Anker received subsidies from the Chinese Communist Party.
Anker products are sold in the US, including in Apple stores.
Anker says it's reviewing the claims.
