Trader consensus overwhelmingly favors a 5–15% U.S. general tariff rate on China at 99.6% probability, driven by the February 2026 Supreme Court ruling invalidating higher IEEPA-based tariffs like the 10% fentanyl and reciprocal levies, promptly replaced by a temporary 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act effective February 24 and lasting through mid-July absent extension. This baseline stacks minimally with standard MFN duties for non-targeted goods, yielding an effective general rate around 10–13%, confirmed stable through recent USTR updates and no intervening executive actions. China's March 27 retaliatory trade probes add tension ahead of a potential Trump-Xi summit, but late-breaking executive orders or Section 301 expansions would be needed to push rates outside this band.

The general tariff rate refers to the base tariff rate paid on imports, including any general tariff the U.S. imposes on all imports (e.g. a 10% tariff on all U.S. imports and a 10% tariff on top of that on Chinese imports would equal a 20% tariff).
If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
Item specific exceptions or increases will not be considered (i.e. this market does not refer to the effective tariff rate).
Only tariffs which are in effect will qualify. Tariffs which are paused, or which have been announced but have not yet gone into effect will not be considered.
This market's primary resolution source will be official information from the Trump administration, however a consensus of credible information will also be used.
