U.S. Proposes List of Textile Made-up Articles under the "30-FOR-30” Reductions

On September 27, 2026, The United States and China reached an understanding on the “30-for-30” framework to be operationalized by the U.S.-China Board of Trade.

Previously, the United States and China agreed to establish a government-to-government “U.S.-China Board of Trade.” The two sides also agreed that the initial focus of the Board of Trade is to be on a dialogue to consider lists of mutually agreed upon imported goods totaling roughly $30 billion on each side, with a view toward providing reduced tariff treatment to those goods in a reciprocal manner. The two sides further agreed to work expeditiously to identify certain goods for inclusion in the “30-for-30” framework.

The Deputies to the U.S. and Chinese Principals have taken the lead in developing proposed lists of products for inclusion in the “30-for-30” framework for consideration by the Principals, with support from staff. The Principals have approved two comparably valued lists of products, including a list of U.S. products for import into China and a list of Chinese products for import into the United States. The values attributable to the products on the two lists were determined by reference to annual bilateral trade values for calendar year 2024. Future tariff reductions involving the products on the two approved lists will be determined and implemented in accordance with each side’s domestic legal processes.
