# US presses Beijing as 9 November tariff dates near

> U.S. officials spoke by video with China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng on November 6, shortly before two trade measures were due to expire on November 9: 178 Section 301 tariff exclusions and a pause on port fees for Chinese-linked ships. Neither U.S. readout mentioned extending the measures, leaving their status uncertain.
