**Presidential Executive Order on Tariff Adjustments for Chinese Goods**
On April 8, 2025 (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order announcing the following tariff measures on goods originating from China (including Hong Kong, China):
1. **Elimination of De Minimis Exemption for Chinese-origin Goods**
For goods shipped via international postal networks:
(1) Effective May 2, 2025 at 12:01 AM EST: A tariff rate of 120% 90% of the goods' declared value will be applied.
(2) From May 2, 2025 at 12:01 AM EST through June 1, 2025 at 12:01 AM EST: A flat tariff of $100$75 per item will be imposed.
(3) Effective June 1, 2025 at 12:01 AM EST: The flat tariff will increase to $200 $150 per item.
2. **Additional 125%+20% (If it is the category under 9903.01.32 or 9903.01.33, the tariff exemption is 125%) 104% Tariff on High-value Chinese Goods**
For Chinese-origin goods valued over $800:
Effective April 9, 2025 at 12:01 AM EST: An additional tariff of 125% 104% will be applied to these products.
3.DHL Official: Temporarily suspend service for B2C shipments (to individuals in the United States) with a declared value exceeding 800 US dollars.
4.Fedex Official: For B2C shipments, a valid FedEx account number is required.
Note: All times mentioned are in U.S. Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Regarding the latest US tariff policy, I-tech electronics co.,ltd will temporarily maintain the DDP/DTP charges unchanged.
Expected situation:
If the category is under 9903.01.32 or 9903.01.33, the equivalent tariff is exempted by 125%：
20% (fentanyl) +25% (if 232 surcharges are involved) +25% (if 301 surcharges are involved) + exemption from equivalent tariffs + most-favored-nation rates ranging from 0% to 6.5%, with some combined rates reaching 45% to 76.5%
Other:
20% (fentanyl) +125% equivalent tariff +25% (if 301 surcharge is involved) + most-favored-nation rates ranging from 0 to 6.5%, with some combined rates reaching 145% to 176.5%
Note:
8471 is under the U.S. HS exemption code of 9903.01.32 and is not related to Section 232.
The exemption scope of 9903.01.32 includes semiconductors, as well as some goods listed by the United States within the HS list.
The applicable exemption scope of 9903.01.33 includes automobiles and some parts and components, and it is related to the Section 232 list.
9903.01.63 refers to goods other than those within the scopes of 9903.01.32 and 9903.01.33, and an additional 125% tariff will be imposed on them.

How Much Are Tariffs on Chinese Goods? It’s Trickier Than You Think.
But because of an ever-changing patchwork of trade rules, not every product will be charged an astronomical tariff, trade lawyers, customs brokers and importers say. In some cases, tariffs will pile on other tariffs. In other instances, they can reduce costs, while other times they can cancel out new ones.
The new 125 percent rate that President Trump imposed will in many cases be added on top of long-existing duties. There are four main categories of tariffs that are imposed on goods from China.
Note: The tariff on auto parts comes into effect in early May. The average provided for the base rate is calculated by the World Trade Organization, which computes an average of all tariff lines. A large share of U.S. imports are assigned a 0% duty, but there are some very high rates in the tariff schedule.
Rates ultimately depend on what is imported, what materials are used (from where), which special rates are applied and what sorts of products are exempt.

U.S. Customs Announcement on Tariff Exemptions
Eastern Time, April 11 Evening – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that, pursuant to a memorandum signed by President Donald Trump earlier today, the following HTS codes will be exempt from the "reciprocal tariffs" imposed under Executive Order 14257 (the "April 2 Order," later amended on April 8 and 9).
As a result, goods originating from China under these HTS codes will no longer be subject to the 125% reciprocal tariff:
