Core Viewpoint - The ongoing uncertainty surrounding the U.S. tariffs on China continues as the U.S. International Trade Court (CIT) ruled that the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration are illegal, but the government has appealed this decision, leading to further complications in U.S.-China trade relations [2][3]. Tariff Details - The CIT identified four specific tariffs as illegal, including a 10% baseline tariff on global imports, a 20% tariff on Chinese goods due to fentanyl smuggling issues, a 10% "reciprocal tariff" on Chinese products, and small tariffs on goods valued under $800 [4][3]. - Since February, the Trump administration has significantly increased tariffs, reaching as high as 145% on certain Chinese imports by April [5][6]. Legal Proceedings - Following the CIT's ruling on May 28, the Trump administration sought a stay of execution from the Federal Circuit Court, which allowed the tariffs to remain in effect while further materials are submitted by both parties [3][6]. - The CIT's decision was initiated by a lawsuit from the Freedom and Justice Center, representing five small U.S. businesses affected by the tariffs, marking the first legal challenge against Trump's tariff policies [8]. Market Impact - The uncertainty surrounding tariffs is expected to persist, affecting cross-border e-commerce sellers who are advised to prepare for ongoing volatility [7]. - Despite the challenges, many e-commerce sellers remain optimistic, believing that the U.S. will struggle to find alternatives to the Chinese supply chain and that they can adjust prices if tariffs increase [7][8].
