China waives tariffs on U.S. ethane imports, Reuters reports

  • On Tuesday, China lifted its 125% tariff on ethane shipments from the United States, providing relief to Chinese petrochemical companies.
  • The tariff was initially imposed earlier this month as part of China's retaliation against President Trump's sweeping tariff campaign.
  • China accounts for about 50% of U.S. Ethane exports, which play a crucial role in the manufacturing operations of firms such as Sinopec and Wanhua Chemical Group.
  • The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported China imported 492,000 barrels per day of U.S. Ethane in 2024, expected to reach 530,000 barrels in 2025.
  • This tariff waiver signals a notable step in ongoing trade negotiations and may help mitigate further economic impact between the two countries.
