Despite shaky relations between the nations, China is still a popular trade partner for U.S. businesses. It isn’t easy to find new sources for over half a trillion dollars worth of goods, after all, so importers still need to have a strong grasp on the requirements of importing from China.
Key Takeaways:
Understanding the basic concepts associated with importing from China can help make the import process hassle-free. We’ll show you those basics and how to find out if your Chinese goods are subject to additional tariffs.
On April 2, , a White House announcement solidified a plan to issue reciprocal tariffs impacting nearly nearly all foreign trade partners, including China. Since the announcement, both the U.S. and China have inflicted tariffs on one another.
The current tariff on imports from China is 125%, but that could easily change in the future. Our team always has the most recent information. Schedule a consulting session to find out more.
The initial 10% tariff placed on all products entering the U.S. from China has now been raised to 20% ad valorem. Changes took effect March 4 and impact all consumables with the current exception of de minimis orders.
Shipments that qualify for de minimis are still entering duty-free pending an update on the system processing such entries. All other restrictions introduced when the tariff initially went into effect in February will still apply.
Products from China will be subject to an additional 10% ad valorem duty since President Donald Trump followed through with his proposed tariff increases. In line with this administration’s America First Trade Policy, the executive order was signed February 1, .
Enforcement of the new tariff and related restrictions will begin at 12:01 am EST on February 4. Here’s a breakdown of how the tariff will be applied and related restrictions:
Since no specified HTS list of products was included as part of the executive order, you should also assume that all entries will be required to pay the 10% duty rate. The tariff was pushed through under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the National Emergencies Act.
At this time, no expiration dates have been set, so the tariff will remain until the presidential administration declares otherwise.
While Section 321 suspension orders were lifted on February 7, , it is expected that this will only be temporary.
Representation from the People’s Republic of China have indicated that they plan to involve the World Trade Organization (WTO) and pursue potential legal action. Additionally, they announced counter measures in the form of tariffs between 10% and 25% that would impact specific American products.
These went into effect Monday, February 10 for the following products:
While the effectiveness of such measures is up for debate, China also proposed an anti-trust investigation into Google, potentially resulting in sanctions against the U.S.-based company.
After the tariff raised was raised on March 4, , additional retaliatory tariffs were announced by officials from Beijing. Currently set to take place on March 10, the proposed counter-tariffs would apply to the following products:
Tariffs on these products would range between 10-15%, although official confirmation, including matching HS codes, have not been provided.
In the years since the COVID-19 pandemic, global health concerns have seriously impacted trade with China, creating a burden for many seeking to import goods. However, Chinese goods are still flowing into the U.S. and there are still opportunities for importers.
Some of the most in-demand goods come from China. Many international merchants seek to import everything from medical equipment to furniture and more.
To keep trade flowing from China to the U.S., some tariffs and regulations have been lifted. Items you can import from China that are exempt from tariffs include:
Of course, that list represents only a fraction of possible imports. Since there are still goods exempt from tariffs, many importers are continuing to seize the opportunity to expand their business. However, unfair trade practices on China’s part have prompted the U.S. government to dissuade importing certain goods from the Asian economic powerhouse.

In , the Trump administration issued a series of high tariffs on Chinese goods entering the United States. Known as Section 301 tariffs, they were meant to reduce the trade deficit between the two nations, encourage U.S. domestic manufacturing, and incentivize the Chinese government to respect intellectual property rights.
Ultimately, these tariffs have had a massive impact on the import value of products from China to the U.S. This is illustrated in the table below with information sourced from trade.gov.
After years of consistent growth, China lost its position as the number one exporter to the U.S. in , being supplanted by Mexico. This is largely the result of Section 301 tariffs at work. While there’s still some value in importing certain Chinese goods, it’s never been more important for importers to understand the present and future of these tariffs.
Over time, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) released four lists of goods that would be subject to higher tariffs until further notice, encompassing almost every item that can be imported. The tariff rates applied to many of those goods will continue to increase, all the way up to 100% by in some cases.
On the bright side, the U.S. has published several lists of goods that were excluded from those tariffs, which can be seen in these section 301 tariff exclusions. Importers that brought in excluded goods can file for a retroactive drawback claim to get refunded for the taxes they may have already paid on the import.

As CBP expands its efforts to enforce the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, it’s also increasingly vital for importers to trace the supply chain of any goods they purchase. Several large businesses have already received pre-audit notifications for upcoming CBP inspections based on suspicion of components as simple as silicon being sourced from the autonomous region.
Even if your supplier isn’t 100% forthcoming about the country of origin for its goods, it’s your responsibility to avoid bringing these goods into the United States. That means you’ll face any potential consequences for violation of the UFLPA.
