Why it matters
The White House on September 27 published the U.S.-China Board of Trade's '30-for-30' lists of products recommended for reduced tariff treatment — putting concrete detail behind the summit's $30 billion reciprocal tariff reduction: China would consider cutting tariffs on US farm products, and the US on 77 Chinese consumer goods. Each side will consider reciprocal reduced tariff treatment under its own domestic laws and processes.
Full report
The release includes two lists. The China imports list (US products) runs to hundreds of lines, nearly all farm and food products — beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish, dairy, eggs, fruit, vegetables, nuts and fresh flowers. The US imports list (Chinese products) has 77 items, mostly everyday consumer goods: fireworks, plastic tableware, blankets and bed linen, curtains, umbrellas, artificial flowers, household scales, food processors and mixers, shavers, flashlights, electric irons, microwave ovens, coffee and tea makers, toasters, Christmas tree lights, highchairs and child safety seats, toys (excluding radio/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth-enabled ones), playing cards, Christmas decorations, sports balls, fishing gear and vacuum flasks.
The lists follow up on the eight-point consensus from the Xi-Trump Washington summit. The two sides agreed to cut tariffs on $30 billion of 'noncritical' goods — including agricultural and energy-related products — to most-favored-nation levels. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer previously said the trade truce, originally due to expire November 10, has been extended by two more months to January 10 to give negotiators more time.
