President Trump has drastically reduced tariffs on Chinese products, effective May 14, revoking 91% of these trade barriers. The removal of tariffs on Chinese imports marks a notable shift in U.S.-China trade policies, impacting the logistics and e-commerce sectors. U.S. Tariff Reductions on Chinese Goods Effective May 14 The United States lifted tariffs on Chinese goods, including from Hong Kong and Macao, per a White House executive order. President Donald Trump reversed previous measures, revoking 91% of tariffs initially imposed. Affected tariffs were part of Executive Order No. 14259 and No. 14266. Scott Bessent, U.S. Treasury Secretary, highlighted the new 30% tariff as a “floor,” suggesting potential adjustments after 90 days. Changes impact cross-border trade and potentially e-commerce sectors. Market response was cautious, with focus on potential long-term effects. No significant reactions were reported from key crypto industry leaders. To ensure that the reduction in duties pursuant to section 2 of this order is made fully effective, the de minimis tariff rate on certain Chinese goods shall be decreased from 120 percent to 54 percent, effective May 14, 2025. “To ensure that the reduction in duties pursuant to section 2 of this order is made fully effective, the de minimis tariff rate on certain Chinese goods shall be decreased from 120 percent to 54 percent, effective May 14, 2025.” — Donald Trump, President of the United States, via White House Trade Policy Shifts Amid Market Uncertainty and Crypto Reactions Did you know?
