China’s Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council has announced a one-year extension of its suspension of 24% additional tariffs on selected imports from the United States. The move, effective from 1:01 p.m. on November 10, 2025, is part of efforts to implement outcomes from recent China-U.S. economic and trade talks.
While the 24% duty remains suspended, a 10% tariff will still apply to the affected goods. The commission emphasized that this decision reflects the consensus reached between the two heads of state during their June 5 phone conversation and is intended to promote “sound, stable and sustainable development” in bilateral trade relations.
The extension is seen as a gesture of goodwill amid ongoing tensions and negotiations between the world’s two largest economies. It also aligns with China’s broader strategy to maintain economic stability and foster global prosperity.
This tariff relief could benefit U.S. exporters in sectors such as agriculture, technology, and consumer goods, which have been impacted by previous rounds of retaliatory tariffs during the trade war era.
