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.
