O que aconteceu
On November 9, the Customs Tariff Commission of China's State Council said that from 13:01 Beijing time on November 10, its extra 24% tariff on US goods stays suspended for two more months. The extra 10% tariff stays in place. The previous pause was set for one year from November 10, 2025, and was about to end.
Por que importa para você
The US and China account for a huge part of world trade. If the pause had ended, US goods would have become more expensive in China at once. The extension removes that risk for markets, but only for two months.
O que conferir e observar
Watch what the US uses to replace the tariffs a court struck down. China says plainly it may change its countermeasures. This is an overview, not advice.

What was decided. The commission cites the consensus reached by the two leaders at their meeting in Washington. The State Council approved the decision. It covers the measures in the commission's notice No. 4 of 2025: there, the 24% rate was suspended and the 10% rate applied. That setup now continues for two more months from 13:01 Beijing time on November 10, 2026 (05:01 UTC).
An important condition. In its explanation, the commission says the US has said several times it plans to replace tariffs under the IEEPA law, which a court ruled invalid, with Section 301 tariffs. China will watch the next US steps and may adjust its counter-tariffs when needed. So the pause comes with strings.
Why only two months. Short terms like this usually buy time for more talks. China did not explain why it chose two months instead of a year like last time. Reuters confirms the decision, citing China's finance ministry website.
Who it affects. US exporters selling to China and the Chinese buyers of their goods. For markets it is a sign that the trade truce is holding for now.
