State Council Tariff Commission: Imposes a 34% tariff on all imported goods originating in the United States

According to China News Network, on April 2, 2025, the US government announced the imposition of "equivalent tariffs" on Chinese goods exported to the United States. The US approach does not comply with international trade rules and seriously damages China's legitimate rights and interests. It is a typical unilateral bullying practice that not only harms the US's own interests, but also endangers global economic development and supply chain stability. According to the Customs 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, as well as the basic principles of international law, and with the approval of the State Council, the Tariff Commission of the State Council has announced that from 12:01 pm on April 10, 2025, a 34% tariff will be imposed on all imported goods originating in the United States. If the goods have been shipped from the place of origin before 12:01 pm on April 10, 2025 and imported between 12:01 pm on April 10, 2025 and 24:00 pm on May 13, 2025, no additional tariffs will be imposed. China urges the US to immediately lift unilateral tariff measures and resolve trade disputes through consultations in an equal, respectful, and mutually beneficial manner.
