# U.S. Extends China Tariff Exclusions as Bessent Seeks Busan Results

> The United States extended all 178 tariff exclusions for Chinese goods through January 9, 2027. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said progress on the Busan arrangement depended on concrete results and that Washington would assess China's implementation, while USTR raised China's earlier agricultural purchase and critical-mineral commitments.

## Why it matters

Extending the exclusions maintains the current tariff treatment for covered Chinese goods and avoids an immediate change in those import costs. The article does not identify an agricultural tariff change or a new commodity purchase that would shift feed-market balances directly.
