Announcement No. 2 of the Tax Commission for 2025
On March 3, 2025, the U.S. government announced an additional 10% tariff on all goods exported from China to the U.S. on the grounds of fentanyl. The unilateral imposition of tariffs by the U.S. undermines the multilateral trading system, exacerbates the burden on American businesses and consumers, and damages the foundation of economic and trade cooperation between China and the U.S.

-
A 15% tariff will be imposed on chicken, wheat, corn, and cotton, with the specific range of goods listed in Attachment 1.
-
A 10% tariff will be imposed on sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, aquatic products, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, with the specific range of goods listed in Attachment 2.
-
For the imported goods listed in the attachments originating from the U.S., the corresponding tariffs will be imposed on top of the currently applicable tariff rates. The existing bonded and tax exemption policies remain unchanged, and the tariffs imposed this time will not be exempted.
-
Goods that have been shipped from the place of origin before March 10, 2025, and imported between March 10, 2025, and April 12, 2025, will not be subject to the tariffs specified in this announcement.
