On April 8, Eastern Time, the United States announced that it would impose an additional 50% tariff on relevant Chinese products on top of the so-called “reciprocal tariff” measures. Previously, the United States had already imposed a series of tariffs on Chinese goods. On April 2, the United States announced that it would impose a 34% tariff on all Chinese goods on the grounds of “correcting the trade imbalance”. As China did not withdraw its countermeasures, on April 7, an additional 50% tariff was imposed, and after coming into effect on April 9, the cumulative tariff rate reached 104%. In February and March 2025, the United States imposed an additional 20% tariff on the grounds of the “fentanyl crisis”. The White House revealed on April 10 that as Trump raised the tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%, the cumulative tariff rate imposed by the United States on Chinese goods had reached as high as 145%, setting a record high for US tariffs on foreign goods. This article will analyze the impact of the US tariff hikes on China’s seamless pipe exports.
