Highlights of the Policy Core​

US Tariff Adjustments on Chinese Goods​

Suspension and Partial Retention of Additional Tariffs: The Executive Order 14257 has been revised. Of the original 34% additional tariffs, 24% will be suspended for 90 days (starting from the effective date of the agreement), with only 10% remaining in effect. This applies to all Chinese goods (including those from Hong Kong and Macau) covered under this executive order.​

Cancellation of Subsequent Additional Tariffs: Executive Orders 14259 and 14266 have been completely revoked, meaning that as much as 91% of the additional tariffs have been cancelled. The comprehensive tax rate for related goods has been significantly reduced from a maximum of 125% to 10% (with only some key sectors maintaining the tariff).​

Chinese Tariff Adjustments on US Goods​

Suspension and Partial Retention of Countervailing Tariffs: The Announcement No. 4 of the Tariff Commission in 2025 has been revised. Of the original 34% countervailing tariffs, 24% will be suspended for 90 days, with 10% remaining in effect.​

Cancellation of Subsequent Countervailing Tariffs: Announcement No. 5 (with tax rates ranging from 34% - 84%) and No. 6 (with tax rates ranging from 84% - 125%) of the Tariff Commission in 2025 have been cancelled. 91% of the countervailing tariffs have been removed, and the comprehensive tax rate for goods covered by the agreement has been reduced from a maximum of 125% to 10%.​

It is worth noting that the adjustments made by both sides are highly reciprocal. The outcome of the 90-day negotiation period will determine whether the suspended tariffs will be reinstated, and the remaining tax rates may become a focal point for long-term negotiations.​

Opportunities and Response Strategies for Independent E-commerce Website Merchants​

Expand Market with Tariff Advantages​

With the US suspending 24% of additional tariffs on Chinese goods and maintaining a 10% base rate, and China making corresponding adjustments to US tariffs, merchants of independent e-commerce websites can recalculate costs based on the tariff changes, appropriately reduce product prices, and enhance the competitiveness of their products in the US market to attract more American consumers. Additionally, they can introduce products that were previously highly restricted by tariffs, enriching the product variety on their independent websites to meet the diverse needs of consumers.​

Strengthen Market Promotion​

Leverage social media, search engine optimization, and other means to conduct targeted marketing for the US market. Take advantage of the tariff adjustment opportunity to highlight the cost-performance advantages of products in marketing efforts and attract consumer attention. Increase the visibility and traffic of independent e-commerce websites through advertising placement, content marketing, and other methods, converting potential customers into actual buyers.​

Enhance Supply Chain Management​

Adjust inventory levels reasonably according to market demand forecasts. During the policy dividend period of tariff adjustment, appropriately increase the inventory of popular products to avoid stockouts. At the same time, optimize the inventory structure through data analysis and other means to reduce inventory costs. Collaborate closely with suppliers to ensure the stability and timeliness of product supply and improve the overall efficiency of the supply chain.​

The adjustment of Sino-US tariff policies provides new development opportunities for merchants of independent e-commerce websites. Merchants should respond actively, make full use of policy advantages, enhance their competitiveness, and achieve greater development in the cross-border e-commerce market.
