China’s Ministry of Commerce states that the 2025 Kuala Lumpur arrangement suspended selected tariff and non-tariff measures through 10 November 2026. The White House’s 2025 fact sheet describes the U.S. side of the arrangement and its conditions. [1] [2]

What exporters must still verify

  • Whether the product is covered by the specific suspension.
  • Which additional tariff, exclusion or customs measure remains in force.
  • The effective date, expiration date and implementing schedule.
  • Origin, classification and documentation independently of the political arrangement.

A suspension is not a permanent trade settlement. The scope and end date of each measure must be checked separately.
