U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Sunday that China has agreed to remove tariffs on roughly 30% of the goods America sends to China — and that the Trump administration will publish the actual product lists on Monday, September 28.
What happened
Greer told Fox News’ The Sunday Briefing on September 27 that the two countries have “actually reached agreement” on categories of goods that can be traded “on a more preferential basis” — carved out so they could stay insulated even if either side imposes new tariffs later.
- China agreed to remove tariffs on ~30% of U.S. exports — including agricultural products, cosmetics, and medical devices (Greer, Fox News, Sept 27).
- Full product lists promised for Monday: “Tomorrow, we’ll release more information. We’ll actually have lists of the type of things that we’re talking about,” Greer said.
- The framework follows the Trump-Xi summit’s “Board of Trade” concept — non-sensitive goods like car seats and home decor carved out from broader tariff disputes; the broader trade truce was extended by two months.
- Rare earths remain unresolved: the U.S. wants “greater volumes” delivered “in a more timely way.”
- National-security export controls on advanced technology stay “off the table,” Greer said Friday on CNBC.
Why it matters
This turns the summit’s abstract “$30B tariff-cut framework” into something investors can model. If Monday’s lists cover ag exporters, med-device makers, and consumer-goods importers, those companies get a durable, tariff-proof trade corridor — exactly the margins investors have been stressing over for two years. It also formalizes the two-track relationship: high tariffs remain on everything else, which Greer framed as “ballast and stability” — stability for the carved-out lanes, pressure everywhere else. The glaring hole is rare earths: unresolved supply risk keeps hanging over semiconductors, hardware, and defense-adjacent supply chains (and everything tied to Nvidia’s China exposure).
What to watch
Monday’s lists are the real event — watch which categories make the cut, effective dates, and whether the terms are genuinely reciprocal. Then track: whether rare earths get a delivery timeline, the November 10 tariff-suspension expiry as the hard deadline forcing the full framework, and any margin-guidance changes from ag, med-device, and consumer-goods companies in upcoming earnings.

Which product categories would you most like to see in Monday’s lists — and do you think carving out non-sensitive trade actually reduces tariff risk for investors?
