China: GACC Interpretation on Implementation of Additional Tariffs on Imports from the United States
On April 10, 2025, the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) published an interpretation for the implementation of retaliatory tariff assessments on U.S. reciprocal tariffs and clarified text on U.S. “goods in transit”. Specifically, goods that depart the United States before 12:01 April 10 (Beijing Time) and arrive in China before 24:00 of May 13 will not be assessed the retaliatory duties for reciprocal tariffs. Meanwhile, the guidelines clarify that customs clearance paperwork, only, must be filed before the end of day, May 13, in China. The report contains an unofficial translation of the interpretation document. U.S. exporters are encouraged to review the original Chinese text and clarify how products will be treated and any commercial risk with their buyers.
