Regarding China products, the United States announced the extension of the tariff exemption period.

According to the Reuters report quoted by the US World News Network on May 24th, the Office of the US Trade Representative announced that it would extend the 301 tariff exemption period for 352 imported goods from China and 77 imported goods from China related to the epidemic from May 31st to June 14th. Some exempted projects will be extended to May 31, 2025.

The report mentioned that former US President Trump imposed tariffs on China goods in 2018 and 2019 in accordance with Article 301 of the Trade Law.

According to the report, the extension of exemption measures announced on the 24th means that some commodities will continue to be exempted from import duties, including animal feeding machines, DC electric motors, blood pressure monitors and thermostats specially designed for air conditioning or heating systems that are not connected to the network.

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative said that the exemption period will be extended until June 14th to facilitate the transition. Some exclusions will be extended until May 31, 2025 to support efforts to transfer procurement out of China, or to provide additional time when the supply of products outside China is still limited.

However, according to the Office of the Trade Representative, many products will face tariffs again, including 102 categories, which are items for which there is no public request for further extension, or there is no evidence that extending the exemption will help to transfer the procurement out of China.

These product categories include garage door openers, switches for motor vehicles, printed circuit board components, electric motorcycles, natural graphite, a series of luggage bags and messenger bags.

The report pointed out that Beijing has always criticized the 301 tariff imposed by the United States on China’s imports as "discriminatory".
