On August 5, 2020, the US Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) issued a report entitled Updated Guidance on China’s Retaliatory Tariffs and Tariff Exclusions Process for US Products [Report CH2020-0106]. The report consolidates China’s previous announcements of additional tariffs on US agriculture, fish, and wood products and information concerning the Chinese government exclusion process for imports of US products. It is meant to provide US exporters a clear picture of the current status of China’s retaliatory tariffs and exclusion process. The report is not the result of new actions by China but organizes previously reported information in a single resource.
The tariff tables include the latest applied import tariffs on US agriculture, fish, and wood products and have notations for products that received a product-specific tariff exclusion or are included China’s more recent tariff exclusion process. Also included are links to all tariff and exclusion related reports published by the Foreign Agricultural Service’s Office of Agricultural Affairs in Beijing to date.
Appendix tables at the end of the report show the current MFN rate, the 232 and 301 retaliatory tariffs and the total duty for 8 digit codes 01012900 to 53029000 (with certain exceptions) and includes applicable exclusions.
