Tariffs which are paused, or which have been announced but have not yet gone into effect will not be considered.

Trader consensus on Polymarket strongly favors a 5–15% U.S. tariff rate on China as of March 31 (80.5% implied probability), driven by the persistence of existing Section 301 duties averaging around 12% under the Biden administration, which the incoming Trump team has not yet altered. Recent developments include no new executive actions on broad tariff hikes post-January 20 inauguration, with Trump administration officials signaling a phased approach prioritizing negotiations over immediate 60% campaign pledges. Treasury statements emphasize targeted enforcement, while USTR reports confirm current rates hold steady amid ongoing trade talks. Lower odds for 15–25% or higher reflect trader skepticism on rapid escalation before April WTO deadlines.
