China: SCTC 2025 Announcement Number 6 Increases Retaliatory Tariffs to 125 Percent for All Goods from the United States
On April 11, 2025, the State Council Tariff Commission (SCTC) announced that China will impose additional retaliatory tariffs on all U.S. goods. According to SCTC 2025 Announcement No. 6, the retaliatory duties would be increased to 125 percent on top of the current applicable tariff basis. The announcement includes text that, “Given that at the current tariff level, there is no market acceptance for U.S. goods exported to China, if the United States continues to impose (new) tariffs on Chinese goods exported to the United States, China will ignore it.” The announcement further states that the same parameters as announced on April 4, 2025, in SCTC Announcement No. 4 for product shipping and delivery dates as well as exclusions and bonded trade will apply. This report provides an unofficial translation of the SCTC announcement and press release; a table of current tariffs applied to U.S. agricultural, fishery, and forestry products; and the original Chinese text.
