China Adjusts Tariffs on US Imports Following Washington Summit
China's State Council Customs Tariff Commission announced it will suspend a 24% additional tariff on US goods for two months while retaining a 10% rate, effective November 10, 2026, to implement outcomes from a recent summit between Chinese and US leaders.
China's State Council Customs Tariff Commission has announced adjustments to additional tariffs on imported goods originating from the United States. The new measures take effect at 13:01 on November 10, 2026.
Under the adjustment, China will continue to suspend the implementation of a 24% additional tariff rate on US goods for a period of two months. At the same time, the country will retain a 10% additional tariff rate on those imports. The move is intended to implement consensus reached during a meeting in Washington between the heads of state of China and the United States.
The tariff adjustment aims to provide a relatively stable and predictable policy environment for cooperation between Chinese and US enterprises, promoting the sustained and stable development of bilateral economic and trade relations.
In its announcement, China noted that the US government has repeatedly expressed intentions to use Section 301 tariffs to replace tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which have been ruled invalid. China stated it will closely monitor subsequent US measures and adjust counter-tariffs accordingly if necessary.
