Tariffs have increased to 245%, BTC has no clear direction
It has been said that the beautiful country has raised tariffs on China to 245%, but that is not actually the case. It is not a new addition, but rather a description of the highest value of previously existing tax rates. The original press release states 'up to' meaning it can be as high as 245%
Now calculating the specific tax rates for various detailed products exported from the Dragon Country to the beautiful country should include several parts:
1) The basic tax rate during peacetime
2) Trade protectionist tariffs that existed before 2025 (previously 232, steel and automobiles are generally 25%)
3) The FTN tariff of 20% targeted at the Dragon Country, as well as the recent 125% equivalent tariff
Adding these together, the tax rates for different categories of goods will vary. Previously, the media in the beautiful country had already calculated tariffs for various categories. It will be found that the news states that within the tariffs from the US to China, there is one category that has reached a maximum of 245%. This does not mean all categories. The picture shows syringes and needles, and the characteristic of this type of product is: the production cost in the beautiful country is extremely high, even higher than the ex-factory price in the Dragon Country, and the production capacity in the Dragon Country is immensely large.
