Announcement of the Tariff Commission of the State Council of the People's Republic of China on Adjusting the Measures of Imposing Additional Tariffs on Imported Goods Originating from the United States
Announcement No. 6 of the Tariff Commission in 2025
On April 10, 2025, the U.S. government announced that it would further raise the "reciprocal tariff" rate on Chinese goods exported to the United States to 125%. The extremely high tariffs imposed by the United States on China seriously violate international economic and trade rules, go against basic economic laws and common sense, and are completely acts of unilateral bullying and coercion.
In accordance with laws and regulations such as the Tariff Law of the People's Republic of China, the Customs Law of the People's Republic of China, and the Foreign Trade Law of the People's Republic of China, as well as the basic principles of international law, with the approval of the State Council, starting from April 12, 2025, the measures of imposing additional tariffs on imported goods originating from the United States will be adjusted. The relevant matters are as follows:
I. Adjust the additional tariff rate specified in the Announcement of the Tariff Commission of the State Council on Adjusting the Measures of Imposing Additional Tariffs on Imported Goods Originating from the United States (Announcement No. 5 of the Tariff Commission in 2025), increasing it from 84% to 125%. Given that under the current tariff level, U.S. goods exported to China have no possibility of being accepted by the market. If the United States continues to impose additional tariffs on Chinese goods exported to the United States in the future, China will not respond.
II. Other matters shall be implemented in accordance with the Announcement of the Tariff Commission of the State Council on Imposing Additional Tariffs on Imported Goods Originating from the United States (Announcement No. 4 of the Tariff Commission in 2025).
