China Extends Suspension of 24% Additional Tariffs on US Goods for Two Months, Keeps 10% Rate
China's Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council announced on Monday, November 9, that from 1:01 p.m. on November 10, 2026, it will continue to suspend the 24 percent additional tariff rate on imports originating from the United States for another two months, while keeping the 10 percent additional tariff rate in place. The commission said the move implements the consensus reached by the Chinese and US heads of state at their Washington meeting.
According to the announcement, approved by the State Council under China's Tariff Law, Customs Law, Foreign Trade Law and the basic principles of international law, the commission is adjusting the additional tariff measures set out in its Announcement No. 4 of 2025 on tariffs on US-origin imports. With the previous suspension nearing expiry, the adjustment extends the pause on the 24 percent rate by a further two months.
The commission also said China has noted that the United States has repeatedly said it intends to use Section 301 tariffs to replace the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) that were ruled invalid. China will continue to closely follow subsequent US moves and will adjust its tariff countermeasures in due course as appropriate.
The announcement said the continued suspension of part of the additional tariffs on US goods helps provide a relatively stable and predictable policy environment for business cooperation between the two countries and supports the steady, sound development of China-US economic and trade relations. For the next two months, the additional tariff rate applied to the US goods concerned when entering China remains unchanged at 10 percent.
