The facts
The Finance Ministry’s Tariff Commission said the State Council approved an adjustment to the 2025 tariff measures, effective at 13:01 local time on Nov. 10, 2026. [1][2]
The notice continues suspension of the 24% additional tariff on U.S.-origin imports for two months and retains a 10% additional tariff rate. [1][2]
China said the notice implements outcomes and consensus from the Washington meeting between the two countries’ leaders. [1][2]
The broader two-month trade-truce extension was already announced in September, according to Reuters; the November notice sets out China’s tariff measure and does not itself report a new bilateral agreement. [2][3]
Still unconfirmed
- The notice does not specify the tariff treatment after the two-month period.
