China News Service, Beijing, November 9th: The Tariff Commission of the State Council of China issued an announcement on the 9th to adjust the additional tariffs on imported goods originating in the United States.

In order to implement the consensus reached at the meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States in Washington, in accordance with the Tariff Law of the People's Republic of China, the Customs Law of the People's Republic of China, the Foreign Trade Law of the People's Republic of China and other laws and regulations and basic principles of international law, and with the approval of the State Council, the Tariff Commission of the State Council of China issued an announcement that starting from November 2026 Starting from 13:01 on the 10th, the additional tariff measures stipulated in the "Announcement of the State Council Tariff Commission on the Imposition of Tariffs on Imported Goods Originating in the United States" (Tax Commission Announcement No. 4 of 2025) will be adjusted. The 24% tariff rate for the United States will continue to be suspended for two months, and the 10% tariff rate for the United States will be retained.

China has noted that the United States has repeatedly expressed its intention to replace the tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) that have been invalidated by Section 301 tariffs. China will continue to pay close attention to the US's follow-up measures and adjust relevant tariff countermeasures as appropriate.

This time, China continues to suspend the implementation of some additional tariffs on the United States, which is conducive to providing a relatively stable and predictable policy environment for cooperation between enterprises on both sides, and promoting the sustained, stable and positive development of Sino-US economic and trade relations.
