On June 11, the President announced on Truth Social that the “the deal with China is done.” According to the post, the President and the President of China are working toward final approval.
The Truth Social posting by the President states that the tariffs on Chinese origin goods will be 55%. The 55% will be a combination of existing tariffs including 10% IEEPA reciprocal tariffs, 20% IEEPA drug/border tariffs, and the 25% Section 301 tariff that covers most Chinese origin goods (note some Section 301 rates are currently higher and some are lower).
Full details are not yet known.

For June, we are highlighing Maria “Connie” Villarreal. Connie came to JAS in 2022 and found a great interest in Customs and wanted to learn more. She wanted to expand her skills and take the opportunity to serve as a team leader and trainer for colleagues. Connie firmly believes in embracing opportunities for growth and shows enthusiasm about exploring fresh perspectives and experiences that promote career progression.
As a spouse and parent of four children (two that have reached adulthood), Connie makes time for hobbies and family bonding. She loves to read romance and thriller books, watching movies, and spending time with her loved ones. She also cherishes opportunities to indulge in spa days with her youngest daughter and cook meals with her son.
Connie is another example that “People Make the Difference.”
In May, JAS Forwarding (USA) Inc. Compliance team met at the USA Corporate Headquarters in Atlanta, GA. During the meetings, the team worked to align on all of the trade changes and learn from each other to continue to provide positive impacts to our clients.
