Special Import Provisions (US-specific) from China represent an important segment of bilateral trade, with approximately $575B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for special import provisions (us-specific) from China reflects the post-SCOTUS landscape: a 10% base tariff under the Section 301 forced-labor tariff that replaced the flat 10% Section 122 rate on July 24, 2026, which had itself replaced the previously higher IEEPA rates after the Court's February 2026 ruling.

The flat 10% Section 122 tariff was subject to a 150-day statutory time limit and expired on July 24, 2026. It was replaced the same day by USTR's Section 301 forced-labor tariff — a two-tier 10%/12.5% duty on roughly 60 economies (about 99.4% of US imports by value), broader than the earlier 46-country proposal. China's current 10% base surcharge is that forced-labor rate; in August 2026, 25 states sued at the Court of International Trade to block it, but CBP continues collecting it while the case proceeds.

Special Import Provisions (US-specific) from China are also subject to Section 301 tariffs, which range from 25% to 100% depending on the specific product classification. Section 301 tariffs were not affected by the Supreme Court ruling and remain in full effect. Combined with the 10% forced-labor base rate, importers may face effective rates of about 35% or more.

Key products in HTS Chapter 99 imported from China include Section 232 steel/aluminum tariff items, Section 301 China tariff items, Section 201 safeguard items, Anti-dumping duty items, Countervailing duty items, and related items.
