Amid these tensions, China has implemented adjustments to its import tariffs to stimulate domestic demand and promote high-standard opening up:
– Tariff Changes: As of June 1, the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has updated several HTS codes affecting electronics, renewable energy components, and industrial machinery. Importers are urged to review updated classifications to prevent delays or misfilings.
