178 China product tariff exclusions
There are currently 178 exclusions that remove additional tariffs on certain Chinese products tied to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation. Those exclusions let businesses avoid extra tariff costs on those listed products. USTR has extended these exclusions several times and they are in effect through November 29, 2025.
Possible extension past November 29, 2025
USTR is asking for public comment on whether any of the 178 exclusions should be extended beyond November 29, 2025. If USTR extends exclusions past that date, companies importing the affected products could continue avoiding the extra tariffs and be able to plan without surprise fees.
