The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued guidance regarding the reduction of reciprocal tariffs on China and the tariff rates for low-value shipments from China.
For imports from China, starting May 14, the baseline tariff rate of 10% will be applied instead of the reciprocal tariff rate of 125%. The tariff rate for low-value shipments will also be reduced.
In the United States, the de minimis rule exempts the payment of tariffs and other charges on low-value shipments with a declared import value of $800 or less.
However, this de minimis rule does not apply to goods originating from China, but the applicable tariff rates will be reduced as follows:
For low-value shipments with a declared import value of $800 or less manufactured in China or Hong Kong, the ad valorem tariff will be reduced from 120% to 54% starting from customs clearance on May 14.
We will not indicate China as the country of origin on customs documents. (However, U.S. Customs may independently determine the goods to be of Chinese origin.)
