The United States has extended tariff exclusions for certain Chinese industrial and medical imports for an additional year, a decision covering equipment used in solar-energy manufacturing and a range of other products.
The tariffs, initially implemented during President Donald Trump’s first term in response to concerns over China’s intellectual property policies, had previously been extended several times and were set to expire on November 29.
A statement from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative noted that the extension comes in the wake of a major trade and economic agreement between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, which was announced by the White House on November 1, 2025.
The renewed exclusions apply to 14 categories linked to solar manufacturing equipment and 164 categories encompassing diverse industrial and medical items, such as electric motors, blood pressure monitors, pump components, automobile air compressors, and printed circuit boards.
