China, on Monday, extended the suspension of additional tariffs of 24 percent on imports from the United States for two months, while maintaining the 10 percent tariffs.
Xinhua News Agency quoted China's State Council Tariff Commission in a statement saying that the adjustment, which takes effect from tomorrow Tuesday, implements the agreements reached during the meeting between the Chinese and American presidents in Washington.
The Commission clarified that this step modifies the additional tariff measures stipulated in its Announcement No. 4 of 2025, in accordance with China's Tariff Law, Customs Law, Foreign Trade Law, as well as the basic principles of international law.
The Commission noted that China has observed repeated American statements regarding the desire to replace tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which was ruled invalid, with Section 301 tariffs.
It added that China will continue to closely follow subsequent US moves and adjust its relevant counter-tariff measures according to developments in the situation.
The Commission pointed out that continuing to suspend part of the additional tariffs on US imports contributes to providing a relatively stable and predictable political environment for cooperation between companies of the two countries, and supports the sustainable and steady development of economic and trade relations between China and the United States.
China had announced on November 5, 2025, the extension of the suspension of 24 percent tariffs on US goods for one year, while maintaining the 10 percent tariffs, effective from the 10th of the same month.
