On the basis of the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and talking only about the US. and not for other countries threatened in a similar way, from November 1, 2025 (or earlier, depending on any further actions or changes that China will receive), The United States of America will impose a 100% duty on China, in addition to the duties they currently pay.
