Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates To Reflect Trading Partner Retaliation And Alignment

The order sharply escalates tariffs on China in response to its retaliation while giving more than 75 other trading partners 90 days to negotiate over trade and security concerns.

What the order does ​

• Raises the additional tariff on covered goods from China, including Hong Kong and Macau, from 84% to 125% starting April 10, 2025.
• Suspends country-specific reciprocal tariff rates for most other listed trading partners for 90 days and applies a 10% additional tariff through July 9, 2025.
• Raises the duty on covered low-value Chinese imports from 90% to 120%.
• Raises postal duties on covered low-value Chinese shipments to $100 per item from May 2 through May 31 and to $200 per item starting June 1.
• Directs federal trade, commerce, homeland security, diplomatic, treasury, economic, and national security officials to implement the changes.

Who it affects ​

• U.S. importers of goods from China, including Hong Kong and Macau.
• U.S. importers of goods from trading partners listed in the April 2 reciprocal tariff order.
• Chinese exporters and businesses sending low-value or postal shipments to the United States.
• Foreign governments negotiating with the United States over reciprocal trade arrangements.
