On August 11 (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order extending the China tariff truce by 90 days, pushing the deadline to November 10, 2025.
Original Deadline: The tariff truce was set to expire on August 12 at 12:01 PM (Beijing Time).
New Deadline: Extended to November 10, covering the critical Christmas export season (electronics, apparel, toys, etc.).
Current Tariffs:
10% reciprocal tariffs (retained)
20% fentanyl tariffs (imposed in Feb/March 2025)
Total effective tariff rate: 30% for most Chinese exports to the U.S..
Christmas Export Boost: The extension allows Chinese exporters to ship goods at lower tariff rates during peak season.
Ongoing Negotiations: The move buys time for further U.S.-China trade talks, following recent discussions in Stockholm and Geneva.
U.S. Demands: Trump has urged China to triple soybean purchases and make further concessions.
Check Latest Tariffs: Verify applicable duties before shipping (e.g., 301, 232, and anti-dumping tariffs may still apply).
Monitor Schedules: Some shipping routes (e.g., Xiamen’s new SENTOSA service) may offer faster alternatives.
Plan Ahead: Expect potential last-minute policy shifts—Trump has a history of "down-to-the-wire" negotiations.
