  • US and China Reach Temporary Tariff Deal Reducing Trade Tensions and Cutting Effective Tariff Rates Significantly
    2025/05/15
    Welcome back, listeners, to China Tariff News and Tracker for May 15, 2025. In a major development this week, the United States and China have reached a temporary agreement to ease tariffs, bringing some relief after months of rising trade tensions and protectionist measures.

    According to the official White House statement issued on May 12, both countries have committed to suspending significant portions of their recent tariff hikes for at least 90 days, while leaving a 10% baseline tariff in place on each other's goods. The United States will suspend 24 percentage points of its additional tariffs on Chinese imports set by recent executive orders, while China will implement a parallel suspension on U.S. goods. Both sides are also rolling back non-tariff countermeasures imposed since April, and are establishing a bilateral mechanism for ongoing economic talks, to be led on the U.S. side by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, and on the Chinese side by Vice Premier He Lifeng, with further meetings expected in both countries or in neutral locations.

    The Budget Lab at Yale notes that, as a result of this temporary reduction, the average effective U.S. tariff rate now stands at 17.8%, which is still the highest in over 90 years but marks a meaningful decline from the peaks of recent weeks. The average rate is expected to drop further to 16.4% after market adjustments. Fitch Ratings reports that Monday's deal alone cut the U.S. effective tariff rate from about 23% to 13%. However, they stress that this de-escalation does not yet signal a return to normal trading relations.

    These changes follow a dramatic escalation in tariffs this spring, when President Trump invoked emergency powers to impose a baseline 10% tariff on all imports to the U.S. and additional country-specific hikes on 57 nations, including a cumulative 54% rate on Chinese goods. At the height of the standoff, China responded in kind with its own tariffs, some as high as 125% or more on U.S. products. With the current agreement, China will also suspend its recent 34% tariff on U.S. goods for 90 days, keeping only the 10% rate in place, and will remove further non-tariff barriers announced this spring.

    Despite this temporary thaw, U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports remain the highest at 31.8% when combining previous and current measures, according to Fitch. The White House bills this as a historic win, highlighting, in their words, President Trump’s unparalleled deal-making abilities. Yet, economic analysis from The Budget Lab warns that, even with these reductions, the higher tariffs have increased consumer prices by up to 1.7% for 2025, costing the average American household an estimated $2,800.

    That’s the latest on tariffs between the U.S., China, and the Trump administration. Thanks for tuning in to China Tariff News and Tracker.

  • US China Trade War Escalates: Tariffs Soar to 124.1% Amid Trump Administration's Aggressive Economic Measures
    2025/05/11
    Welcome to the China Tariff News and Tracker podcast. Let's dive straight into the latest developments.

    The US-China trade war has reached unprecedented levels as we move through May 2025, with US tariffs on Chinese exports now standing at a staggering 124.1 percent. These rates are more than 40 times higher than before the tariff war began in 2018 and six times higher than they were when Trump took office in January this year.

    The escalation began early this year with 10 percentage point increases implemented in February and March. The situation intensified dramatically in April when President Trump announced his "Liberation Day" initiative, aimed at addressing what he called "the national emergency posed by the large and persistent trade deficit."

    On April 2nd, the White House imposed a universal 10 percent tariff on all imports, which took effect on April 5th. For China specifically, an additional 34 percent tariff was announced, which was later increased to 84 percent on April 9th following China's retaliatory measures.

    China has not taken these actions lightly. In early April, Beijing announced a 34 percent blanket retaliatory tariff on all US goods, alongside export restrictions on rare earth elements and sanctions against 30 US defense-related organizations. According to the Peterson Institute for International Economics, China has retaliated in three tranches, lifting its average tariff on US exports to a remarkable 147.6 percent.

    The trade war has expanded beyond just tariffs. On April 8th, Trump signed an executive order officially ending the de minimis exemption for low-value shipments from China, Hong Kong, and Macau, effective May 2nd. This removed the $800 USD duty-free threshold that many cross-border e-commerce businesses relied on.

    For businesses importing from China, the "postal carve-out" for Chinese-origin orders has been updated to 90% of the value or $75 per package as of May 2nd, with another increase to $150 or 90% scheduled for June 1st.

    One small relief for publishers and booksellers: books remain exempt from these new tariffs as they qualify as "informational materials" under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act.

    Economists warn these exceptionally high tariffs are likely to significantly impact macroeconomic aggregates, trade patterns, and the structure of global value chains in the coming months.

  • US-China Trade War Escalates: Massive 145% Tariffs Shock Global Markets and Reshape International Commerce
    2025/05/08
    Welcome to China Tariff News and Tracker, where we bring you the latest developments in the ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions.

    In a significant escalation, President Trump's administration has dramatically increased tariffs on Chinese imports to unprecedented levels. As of May 2025, U.S. goods imported from China are now subject to a staggering 145% tariff rate, up from the initial 54% announced in early April.

    This sharp increase came after a series of rapid developments. On April 2, the White House declared a "national emergency" due to trade imbalances, implementing a baseline 10% tariff on all imports. For China specifically, an additional 34% tariff was added on top of the existing 20%, bringing the total to 54%.

    Just days later, on April 9, the Trump administration raised the reciprocal tariff rate on China from 34% to 84%, bringing the total to 104%. This increase was implemented after China failed to repeal a 34% duty it had placed on U.S. goods.

    In retaliation, China's Ministry of Finance immediately raised tariffs on U.S. goods to 84%, effective April 10. By April 11, China's State Council Tariff Commission further increased duties on U.S. imports to 125%.

    The trade war has extended beyond traditional imports. The Trump administration has also targeted small shipments with a new de minimis duty rate. Parcels valued under $800 arriving from mainland China and Hong Kong now face a 90% tariff, with a per-item fee of $75 that rose to $150 on June 1.

    Economists at Yale's Budget Lab report that these measures have pushed the U.S. average effective tariff rate to 28%, the highest since 1901. They predict a substantial shift in China's share of U.S. imports, potentially dropping from 14% to just 3% as American businesses seek alternatives.

    Notably, certain goods remain exempt from these tariffs. Books and other "informational materials" are not subject to additional duties because the tariffs were imposed under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act.

    The impact of these tariffs on consumer prices and supply chains continues to evolve as businesses adapt to this new trade landscape.
