The U.S.-China trade dispute is spilling over to third countries such as Japan

RICOY 0.64% said it plans to shift some production of copiers intended for American customers out of China to avoid potential U.S. tariffs, an early example of what could become a wider push by manufacturers.
Copiers are a case study of how the U.S.-China trade dispute spills over to third countries like Japan. Many copiers sold in the U.S. carry Japanese brand names such as Ricoh or Canon , and Japan-based Fuji Xerox Co.—75% owned by Tokyo’s Fujifilm Holdings Corp. —makes copiers sold in the U.S. under the Xerox brand. The brand names aren’t Chinese, but the copiers themselves are often made in China.
Last week, the U.S. raised tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods to 25%, and it is working on a new round of tariffs that would apply to about $300 billion of imports from China including copiers. Mr. Trump has said he hasn’t decided yet whether he will impose them.
