China includes US macadamias in proposed tariff-reduction list
China and the United States have agreed on a framework for reciprocal tariff reductions covering approximately US$30 billion of imports, subject to each country’s domestic legal procedures.
The published Chinese list includes US macadamias and several other nuts and fresh fruits. More than 90% of listed products are expected to be exempt from additional tariffs and receive most-favoured-nation treatment if the measures are implemented.
The framework does not itself establish every final tariff rate or implementation date. Those reductions still depend on approval and implementation under domestic procedures.
Why This Matters
Lower barriers for US macadamias could alter relative competitiveness and sourcing options in the Chinese market, but implementation remains the key next step.
