On February 1, 2025, the US government announced that it would impose a 10% tariff on all Chinese goods exported to the US on the grounds of fentanyl and other issues. The unilateral tariff increase by the US seriously violates the rules of the World Trade Organization. It is not only unhelpful in solving its own problems, but also undermines the normal economic and trade cooperation between China and the US.
According to the Tariff Law, the Customs Law and the Foreign Trade Law of the People’s Republic of China and other laws and regulations and the basic principles of international law, with the approval of the State Council, starting from February 10, 2025, additional tariffs will be imposed on some imported goods originating from the United States. The relevant matters are as follows:
- A 15% tariff will be imposed on coal and liquefied natural gas. The specific range of goods is shown in Annex 1.
- A 10% tariff will be imposed on crude oil, agricultural machinery, large-displacement cars, and pickup trucks. The specific range of goods is shown in Annex 2.
- For the imported goods listed in the appendix originating from the United States, corresponding tariffs will be levied on the basis of the current applicable tariff rates. The current bonded and tax reduction and exemption policies remain unchanged, and the additional tariffs will not be reduced or exempted.
