China’s State Council Tariff Commission said on Wednesday it will suspend a 24% additional tariff on U.S. goods for one year while retaining a 10% levy, as part of measures to implement the consensus reached in recent China-U.S. trade consultations.
According to an official statement, the adjustment was approved by the State Council and will take effect from 13:01 local time on November 10, 2025.
The commission said the continued suspension of certain bilateral tariffs is intended to promote “the healthy, stable, and sustainable development” of China-U.S. economic and trade relations, and to benefit the people of both countries.
The move follows a recent meeting between Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump in South Korea, and signals a cautious easing of trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies.
