Status unconfirmed. The second statutory four-year review of this action is running. The continuation-request deadlines for the underlying 2018 actions closed on 2026-07-05 and 2026-08-22 and no continuation notice has been published. There is no evidence of termination either, and the duty is almost certainly still collectible; what we cannot do is cite a document saying so.

Common questions
- What is the US tariff on goods from China?
- Goods of China origin face an additional 12.5% across the board, on top of the Column 1 rate for the classification, plus any product-specific action.
- Did the tariff on China goods change in 2026?
- Yes. Until 23 February 2026, goods of China origin carried an additional 10.0% under the IEEPA reciprocal schedule. The Supreme Court held on 20 February 2026 that IEEPA does not authorise tariffs, and collection ceased for entries made on or after 24 February 2026.
- Does the country-wide rate cover everything of China origin?
- No. It is one layer. Section 232 and Section 301 duties are keyed to the product, not the country, so the total depends on the classification, and in some cases on metal content or preference eligibility.
