# China Extends U.S. Tariff Suspension

China extended the suspension of an additional 24% tariff on U.S. imports for two months, beginning November 10, 2026, while the existing 10% duty remains in place. China also extended the suspension of special port fees on U.S.-linked vessels through January 10, 2027, and continues to suspend its shipping and shipbuilding supply-chain security probe. A proposed $60 billion package of reciprocal tariff reductions, including about $17 billion in U.S. agricultural goods, has not been finalized.

- Importers and procurement teams should continue to include the 10% duty in landed-cost estimates; the additional 24% tariff is paused, not eliminated.
- The port-fee suspension may reduce near-term cost uncertainty for organizations shipping on U.S.-linked vessels, but applies through January 10, 2027.
- Companies sourcing across the U.S.-China trade lane can use the temporary pause in planning, while accounting for the unfinalized tariff-cut package and the possibility of policy changes in response to U.S. actions.
