On August 12, 2025, the White House issued a new Executive Order extending the temporary suspension of certain ad valorem reciprocal tariffs on goods from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) until 12:01 a.m. EST on November 10, 2025.

Key Changes in the New Order

  • Suspension Extended – The additional ad valorem duties imposed under heading 9903.01.63 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the US (HTSUS) will remain suspended until November 10, 2025.
  • Negotiations Continue – The PRC has reportedly taken significant steps toward improving trade reciprocity and addressing US concerns on economic and national security issues.

What This Means for Importers

Under the current suspension, importers will continue to be assessed the 10% reciprocal duty under HTSUS heading 9903.01.25. The continuation of this suspension depends on the progress of trade negotiations, meaning duty rates may still change quickly.
