Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates Consistent with the Economic and Trade Arrangement Between the United States and the People’s Republic of China

This article outlines the adjustments made by the United States to import tariff rates as part of an agreement with the People’s Republic of China, which aims to address trade imbalances. In response to concerns about significant trade deficits and potential national security threats, the U.S. suspended increased tariffs on Chinese goods and imposed a 10 percent duty as negotiations continued. A key component of the agreement involves commitments from China to eliminate coercive export controls and increase purchases of U.S. agricultural products. Meanwhile, the U.S. has agreed to keep tariffs at their current level until November 10, 2026, depending on China’s compliance with the agreement.
