China extends suspension of 24% US import tariff for two months
China extended its suspension of an additional 24% tariff on US imports for two months, starting Nov 10.
The 10% tariff on those imports will remain in place.
The move follows a September meeting between the leaders of China and the United States, where they reached understandings on trade.
China also extended the suspension of special port fees on US-linked ships until Jan 10, 2027, and continues to pause a probe into shipping and shipbuilding supply chains.
The extensions are intended to support a more stable and predictable trade environment between the two countries.
A proposed package of reciprocal tariff cuts worth about US$60 billion has not yet been finalised.
China said it will watch US plans for new tariffs and may adjust its countermeasures; the 24% tariff suspension lasts two months.
China will continue suspending an additional 24% tariff on imports from the United States for two months.
The suspension takes effect at 1:01 p.m. Beijing time on November 10, while the 10% tariff remains in place.
China said it would monitor US plans to use Section 301 tariffs and could adjust its countermeasures.
The extension follows discussions between the countries’ leaders, though reports differ on when those discussions took place.
