# Soybean Group Presses Officials to Drop 10% China Tariff

> The American Soybean Association asked the Trump administration to remove a remaining 10% tariff on U.S. soybeans sold to China, arguing it disadvantages U.S. exporters against Brazil and other South American suppliers. ASA President Scott Metzger said China has bought about 15 million metric tons toward its 25 million ton annual commitment for 2026 and urged a longer suspension of Section 301 port fees.

## Why it matters

Removing the tariff would let private Chinese importers buy more U.S. beans, which could tighten U.S. export availability and support soybean prices relative to Brazilian supply.
