Announcement of the Tax Commission No. 2 of 2025
On March 3, 2025, the U.S. government announced that it would further impose a 10% tariff on all Chinese goods imported from the United States on the grounds of fentanyl.

The relevant matters are as follows: 1. An additional 15% tariff is imposed on chicken, wheat, corn and cotton. The specific scope of the product is shown in Appendix 1.
2. A 10% tariff is imposed on sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, aquatic products, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. See Appendix 2 for specific product scope.
3. For imported goods listed in the annex originating from the United States, corresponding tariffs will be imposed on the basis of the current applicable tariff rates. The current bonded and exempted tax policies will remain unchanged, and the tariffs imposed this time will not be reduced or exempted.
4. If the goods have been shipped from the place of departure before March 10, 2025 and imported from March 10, 2025 to April 12, 2025, the tariffs imposed in this announcement shall not be imposed.
