The current tariffs on imports from China to the United States vary widely depending on the product, but the average U.S. tariff on Chinese goods is extremely high, around 124.1% as of April 2025. This represents a significant increase from pre-trade war levels and includes multiple rounds of tariff hikes during the Trump administration's second term
. Specifically:
- Some reports indicate tariffs as high as 245% on certain Chinese imports
- The U.S. has imposed a standard 10% tariff on all imports globally, with higher targeted tariffs on "major offenders" including China at about 54% combined with previously established tariffs
- The Trump administration has raised tariffs in stages, with recent increases adding over 100 percentage points to the average tariff on Chinese goods
- President Trump has suggested that tariffs might be lowered at some point in the future, but as of early May 2025, no formal reduction has been implemented
In summary, the current U.S. tariff on Chinese imports averages around 124%, with some products facing tariffs up to 245%, reflecting ongoing trade tensions and tariff escalations since 2018
