Trump Signs Executive Order 14334 Extending the China Tariff Truce Another 90 Days to November 10
On August 11, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14334 in Washington, D.C., extending the suspension of heightened reciprocal tariffs on Chinese goods for another 90 days, until 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on November 10, 2025. The earlier suspension had been set to expire at 12:01 a.m. on August 12, and the order was signed hours before the deadline.
The order recounts the year's tariff steps against China: Executive Order 14257 of April 2 imposed reciprocal tariffs on Chinese goods, and Executive Orders 14259 and 14266 then raised the rates further; Executive Order 14298 of May 12 suspended the heightened rates for 90 days and imposed instead an additional 10 percent ad valorem duty. The order states that the United States continues to hold discussions with China to address the lack of trade reciprocity in the economic relationship, and that China continues to take significant steps toward remedying non-reciprocal trade arrangements and addressing U.S. economic and national security concerns, making it necessary and appropriate to continue the suspension.
Under Section 2 of the order, heading 9903.01.63 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, the country-specific heightened rate for China, remains suspended until November 10, and the 10 percent reciprocal rate in effect during the suspension is unchanged. Under the truce framework, the combined U.S. tariff level on Chinese goods stays at 30 percent, the 10 percent reciprocal tariff plus the 20 percent fentanyl-related tariff; the fentanyl duties and the Section 301 tariffs are outside the scope of this suspension. Trump wrote on social media that evening that he had just signed an executive order extending the tariff suspension on China for another 90 days, and that all other elements of the agreement would remain the same.
China extended its side the same day. The Customs Tariff Commission of China's State Council announced that, starting August 12, China would continue to suspend 24 percentage points of its reciprocal tariff on U.S. goods for 90 days, retaining 10 percentage points. U.S. and Chinese economic and trade teams had held a third round of talks in Stockholm, Sweden, on July 28 and 29, after earlier rounds in Geneva and London, and the extension carried out the consensus reached in Stockholm. The order was published in the Federal Register on August 14, at page 39305.
