Announcement of the Tariff Commission of the State Council on Adjusting Additional Tariff Measures on Imports Originating from the United States

Tax Committee Announcement No. 5 of 2025

On April 8th, 2025, the US government announced that the rate of "reciprocal tariffs" imposed on Chinese exports to the United States would be increased from 34% to 84%. This move by the US side represents a further escalation of its tariffs against China, which is wrong upon wrong and severely infringes on China's legitimate rights and interests, seriously damaging the multilateral trading system based on rules.

In accordance with the "Customs Law of the People's Republic of China", the "Foreign Trade Law of the People's Republic of China", and other laws and regulations and principles of international law, and after approval by the State Council, starting from 12:01 am on April 10th, 2025, the additional tariff measures on imports originating from the United States will be adjusted. The relevant matters are as follows:

1. The additional tariff rates specified in the "Announcement of the Tariff Commission of the State Council on Imposing Additional Tariffs on Imports Originating from the United States" (Tax Committee Announcement No. 4 of 2025) will be adjusted from 34% to 84%.

2. Other matters shall be implemented according to the provisions of Tax Committee Announcement No. 4 of 2025.
