USTR Connected Update on Chinese Port Fees – October 14, 2025

Effective October 14, 2025, the Chinese government has introduced new port fees applicable to vessels that are U.S.-flagged, owned, operated, or built. These measures are a response to the U.S. Section 301 initiative, which also takes effect on the same day.

We are currently assessing its potential impact on our services calling at ports in China. We will update our customers as soon as further clarification becomes available.

We will continue to provide updates as more information is confirmed.

Effective August 7, 2025:

New duties have been established under the United States national emergency declared in Executive Order 14257 (April 2025), which addresses what the U.S. government believes to be systemic trade imbalances. This new Executive Order replaces prior rates for certain trading partners and introduces updated tariff structures by country and product.

Key updates:

Goods from countries listed in Annex I (listed in Executive Order) will face updated ad valorem tariffs based on their current HTSUS duty rate.
Goods from other countries not listed in Annex I will face a 10% additional duty.
If CBP determines that goods were transshipped to evade duties, a 40% tariff will apply, along with penalties and no eligibility for mitigation.

Effective August 29, 2025:

All imports, regardless of value or origin, will now be subject to applicable duties and tariffs.
Shipments previously entered duty-free under Section 321 (de minimis threshold of $800) must now follow standard entry procedures.
This includes full customs filings and compliance with all Partner Government Agency (PGA) requirements.
Postal shipments will temporarily remain exempt from formal entry, but will be subject to flat or ad valorem duties based on the country of origin.
