  • US Slaps 93.5 Percent Tariff on Chinese Graphite Imports Amid Escalating Trade Tensions and Supply Chain Disruption

    US Slaps 93.5 Percent Tariff on Chinese Graphite Imports Amid Escalating Trade Tensions and Supply Chain Disruption
    2025/07/21
    It’s Monday, July 21st, 2025, and welcome to China Tariff News and Tracker.

    The big story this week is the U.S. government’s move to hit Chinese graphite imports with a staggering 93.5 percent tariff. The Commerce Department has set this preliminary rate following an antidumping investigation, which found that China has been selling graphite at less than fair value, supported by extensive subsidies. This new tariff comes on top of an existing preliminary countervailing duty of 11.58 percent on the same commodity. The Commerce Department is expected to announce final rates by December, but for now, the 93.5 percent tariff marks one of the highest penalties ever imposed on a Chinese critical mineral, a strategic supply chain material that is used heavily by the U.S. auto and battery industries. According to industry data, China produced 78 percent of the world’s graphite in 2024 and supplied more than two-thirds of all graphite imported into the U.S. last year, making this a direct hit to both nations’ supply chains.

    This move is part of a broader tariff strategy under the Trump administration, which has returned to aggressive trade action to counter what it calls unfair Chinese trade practices while aiming to boost U.S. production of critical minerals, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals. Earlier this year, Trump ordered a flat 10 percent tariff across all Chinese imports, citing national security concerns, especially around fentanyl and critical technology. As reported by Made-in-China Insights, this 10 percent base tariff is now foundational, but sector-specific surcharges, like those on graphite and proposed levies on semiconductors, are multiplying.

    This summer has brought volatility and confusion across the business world. The administration temporarily reduced general tariffs on Chinese imports from a peak of 145 percent down to 10 percent for a 90-day window, but those rates are set to rise again soon. Amazon sellers and major U.S. retailers scrambled to stock up while the window was open, but all eyes are now on August 12th. As of that date, most products imported from China could face a 34 percent tariff, while specific “strategic sectors” and goods flagged for national security get hit even harder. E-commerce analysts, like those from DataWeave, note that prices on China-made goods have already climbed 2.6 percent so far in 2025, especially in categories like electronics and home goods.

    According to DW News and China-US Focus, President Trump’s approach reflects his so-called “America First” doctrine, using tariffs rather than sanctions for rapid, high-visibility economic action. Tariffs directly address the U.S.-China trade deficit, which reached $295 billion last year, and fill federal coffers, with tariff income up by over 100 percent year-on-year.

    But with industry leaders warning of supply chain paralysis and inflation concerns mounting, the next few weeks will be pivotal. The threat of “secondary tariffs” targeting countries and companies doing business with China also looms, adding even more uncertainty for global trade partners. For now, businesses, manufacturers, and investors are preparing for another round of high-stakes trade standoffs as the administration pushes hard against China and aims to realign the global trade order.

  • US-China Trade War Escalates: Trump Tariffs Hit 40%, Threatening Global Economy and Sparking Diplomatic Tensions

    US-China Trade War Escalates: Trump Tariffs Hit 40%, Threatening Global Economy and Sparking Diplomatic Tensions
    2025/07/20
    Welcome to China Tariff News and Tracker. Here’s your comprehensive update on the latest US-China tariff developments and their impacts, with a particular spotlight on President Trump’s recent moves.

    As of today, July 20, 2025, President Donald Trump’s tariff policy remains front and center in the global trade conversation. According to Bloomberg Economics, Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports are now set at roughly 40%, a level so high it threatens to decimate much of China’s industrial profit margins, which averaged about 14.8% last year. Analysts warn that these tariffs are unsustainable for most Chinese industries, raising the specter of acute price cuts, profit erosion, layoffs, and even large-scale bankruptcies. Key sectors like textiles, IT and communications, and furniture manufacturing are among the most vulnerable. Only a mere five out of 33 major industrial sectors in China have margins robust enough to absorb these tariff levels; notable exceptions include pharmaceuticals and oil and gas extraction.

    The trade pressure is not only affecting China. Mark Zandi of Moody’s Analytics recently told Good Morning America that US tariff income for 2025 could exceed $300 billion, but this comes at a cost. Economic analysts have observed price hikes for consumers and inflationary pressures that could ripple across the economy. In fact, the effective US tariff rate has spiked to nearly 21%, the highest since 1910, intensifying supply chain disruptions and shifting manufacturing costs for industries and retailers from manufacturing and retail to agriculture.

    Yet while Trump touts these tariffs as part of his "America First" agenda—aimed at reshoring production and incentivizing US investment—negotiations with Beijing have grown more nuanced in recent months. Strafasia reports that behind closed doors, the US and China have quietly agreed to a temporary truce: Washington will not raise tariffs further, and in return Beijing has agreed to lower retaliatory tariffs on US goods to 10%, at least until mid-August 2025. This diplomatic window is seen as a critical period for sealing a more enduring agreement and limiting further economic fallout. Meanwhile, the US has cautiously relaxed certain technology restrictions, issuing limited licenses for giants like Nvidia to export some semiconductors to China, a signal of carefully renewed cooperation in tech sectors.

    On the Chinese side, resilience has become the strategic mantra. Interest.co.nz notes that Beijing has rerouted trade flows, engineered hedges against the dollar, and bolstered domestic consumption, positioning itself as less vulnerable to external shocks. At the same time, China stands ready to escalate—recent moves include new tariffs on US energy imports, export restrictions on strategic minerals, and a willingness to flood other markets with low-cost goods if US access remains heavily restricted.

    For global businesses, especially in the US and China, the current climate is one of volatility and rapid adaptation. Supply chains are shifting, costs are rising, and the future remains uncertain. Negotiations are ongoing, but the fundamental dynamics of the US-China tariff confrontation show no signs of disappearing anytime soon.

  • Trump Era Tariffs Surge to 16 Percent Targeting China Graphite and Tech Sectors with Massive New Trade Restrictions

    Trump Era Tariffs Surge to 16 Percent Targeting China Graphite and Tech Sectors with Massive New Trade Restrictions
    2025/07/18
    Listeners, welcome to China Tariff News and Tracker. As of July 18, 2025, the White House’s trade agenda is once again making headlines, with President Trump’s return bringing a patchwork of tariffs, especially aimed at China and key global sectors.

    According to Fortune, the average effective tariff rate on U.S. imports has soared to around 16% this year, up sharply from about 3% when President Trump first took office. That increase is not uniform but part of what’s now referred to as a ‘tariff mosaic’—a policy that’s highly sector- and country-specific. China, as the top U.S. trading partner, continues to bear the brunt of Washington’s most aggressive trade measures.

    The pivotal move this week came when the U.S. Department of Commerce announced sweeping action against China’s graphite industry. As reported by GlobeNewswire, Commerce is imposing a massive 93.5% antidumping tariff on graphite products imported from China. That single measure brings the effective tariff rate on those Chinese graphite items to a staggering 160%. This step aims to address what American officials call persistent dumping and unfair pricing practices by Chinese exporters, and it’s expected to sharply cut Chinese graphite entering American supply chains.

    The sharp rise in tariffs isn’t limited to graphite. Trump administration officials have expanded trade restrictions through a series of new investigations targeting strategic Chinese-linked sectors. The administration this month announced new Section 232 probes into imports of polysilicon and unmanned aircraft systems, sectors regarded as vital to national and industrial security. The Department of Commerce also signaled that tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals—much of which originate from Chinese-owned factories—may take effect as soon as next month, escalating the trade standoff.

    All these moves come as new global reciprocal tariffs and U.S. duties on copper imports are about to kick in on August 1. Fitch Ratings projects that the overall U.S. effective tariff rate will jump again to nearly 19.4% once these new levies are enforced. These tariff hikes have already driven up shipping costs, and freight rates from China are climbing. Maritime analysts like Sal Mercogliano point to falling container numbers out of China and a shift toward other Asia exporters, as importers scramble to avoid the brunt of new U.S. duties.

    Morgan Stanley Wealth Management warns that the combined effect of a weaker dollar and high tariffs could mean persistent inflation and thinner corporate profits, unless the costs can be passed to U.S. consumers. With legal challenges still looming and exemptions continually shifting, the landscape remains volatile for anyone involved in trade between the U.S. and China.
