What it means
Increases tariffs on Chinese imports from 34% to 84% in response to China's retaliatory 34% tariff on US goods. Also raises duties on low-value postal shipments from China, with per-item fees increasing to $75 in May and $150 in June 2025.
Expected impact
- Significantly higher prices for Chinese-made products in the US market
- Potential disruption to supply chains reliant on Chinese components
- Increased financial burden on e-commerce platforms and consumers who purchase directly from Chinese sellers
- Possible economic stimulus for domestic manufacturers who compete with Chinese imports
- Risk of further escalation in the trade conflict between the US and China
- Pressure on inflation as import costs rise
