In an executive order signed on November 4th, 2025, the US Government lowered its tariffs on Chinese imports entered for consumption or withdrawn from a warehouse for consumption on or after 12:01 AM ET on November 10th from 20% to 10%. 

Additionally, an executive order maintains the suspension of ‘heightened reciprocal tariffs’ on imports from China until 12:01 AM ET on November 10, 2026.

• China to end the global implementation of export controls on rare earth and critical minerals
• China to suspend retaliatory tariffs, including those on numerous US agricultural products such as chicken, wheat, corn, cotton, pork, beef, soybeans, fruits, dairy products, and more. 
• China suspects non-tariff retaliatory measures taken against the US, including the listing of certain US companies on its ‘unreliable entity lists’. 
• China to purchase at least 12 million metric tons of US soybeans in what remains of 2025 and another 25 million metric tons annually in 2026, 2027, and 2028.
