In April 2025, the US has taken several actions regarding tariffs on China, including increasing existing tariffs and implementing new ones. These actions involve both reciprocal tariffs, where the US increases duties on Chinese goods in response to China's retaliatory measures, and changes to the de minimis exemption.
Key Actions and Details:
On April 8, 2025, President
Trump issued an executive order increasing reciprocal tariffs on imports from
China from 34% to 84%. This increase is a response to China's retaliatory
tariffs on US goods.
Increased Duties on Low-Value Imports:
The US also revised the duties on low-value imports from China, especially those sent through the postal system. The ad valorem duty for postal items was increased, and the per-item duty was also increased.
De Minimis Exemption Changes:
The US revoked the de minimis
exemption for goods from China, meaning that low-value imports that would
previously have been exempt from duties are now subject to all applicable
duties. This change is intended to address the synthetic opioid
crisis.
Individualized Reciprocal Tariffs:
The US implemented a system of
individualized reciprocal tariffs on the countries with the largest trade
deficits with the US.
The US is imposing a 10% baseline tariff on all countries, with higher individualized tariffs on those with the largest trade deficits.

In April 2025, the US and China engaged in a sharp escalation of tariffs. The US imposed a 145% tariff on many Chinese goods. In response, China retaliated with a 125% tariff on US goods. Additionally, China suspended exports of certain minerals and magnets.
Elaboration:
US Tariffs on China:
The US raised tariffs on Chinese goods, including some electronics, to a high of 145%. These tariffs were implemented in April 2025, following an earlier increase to 20%.
China's Retaliation:
In response to the US tariffs, China imposed a 125% tariff on many US goods.
Impact:
The increased tariffs have had a significant impact on trade between the two countries, with China's manufacturing activity declining.
Further Actions:
China also considered suspending exports of certain minerals and magnets in response to the US tariffs.
Ongoing Situation:
The trade war between the US and China continues, with both countries imposing tariffs and taking other actions to protect their industries.
