The U.S. and China approved roughly $30 billion of trade on each side for potential tariff relief, but implementation still determines what companies actually owe.

💡

TL;DR:

What you need to know

The change: The U.S. and China approved two comparably valued lists of non-sensitive products covering roughly $30 billion of trade on each side for potential reduced tariff treatment. Terms of Reference for the 30-for-30 Framework

Why it matters: The roughly $60 billion figure refers to the value of trade represented by the two lists, not tariffs eliminated.
What to do first: Determine whether company products fall within the covered scope, then track the implementing tariff measures before recognizing any savings.
