Since 2018, the trade relationship between China and the United States has experienced periods of friction and uncertainty. The trade tensions initially arose from the U.S. imposing additional tariffs on Chinese products, gradually expanding to cover a wide range of goods and industries. Understandably, this development has raised concerns among both Chinese exporters and U.S. importers.
During this time, plastic Honeycomb products classified under a specific HS Code were at certain stages, listed for observation or subject to tariff discussions. However, based on actual implementation over the past few years, the majority of plastic panel products for industrial and construction use have either remained outside the core high-tariff lists or qualified for tariff exclusions. As a result, the real impact on our product category has been limited and manageable.
Current Situation & Future Expectations
As of 2025, with a new U.S. administration in office, trade policy adjustments continue. The overall trend remains a combination of strategic containment, technological regulation, and trade stabilisation. While structural differences between the two countries persist, the U.S. market maintains a strong demand for many mid- and low-end industrial materials, and Chinese manufacturing remains an essential part of that supply chain.
For manufacturers like us, we closely monitor policy developments and actively take steps to ensure the steady delivery of our goods to international markets. We also maintain open communication with logistics partners, customs brokers, and local contacts in the U.S. to ensure full compliance with import regulations.
Will the Plastic Honeycomb Panel Be Affected?
We understand that many of our customers are particularly concerned about whether the plastic Honeycomb panel will be affected by the latest U.S. tariff measures. Our position is as follows:
Under current policies, plastic panel products under our HS Code are not included in the most recent list of heavily tariffed Chinese goods.
Even in the event of future changes, there are still flexible options such as reclassification, country-of-origin optimisation, third-country transit, or formal tariff exclusion applications.
In actual operations, we continue to offer stable pricing, full compliance with documentation requirements, and customised service support to help customers reduce potential risks.
Our Commitment
We believe that trade between China and the U.S. is long-term and multi-faceted. While short-term fluctuations may occur due to policy shifts, customers ultimately prioritise product quality, service reliability, and value, which we remain committed to delivering.
That’s why we promise to:
Provide cost-effective, internationally compliant plastic honeycomb panels and other sheet products;
Keep clients informed of all relevant policy changes through proactive communication and expert advice.
Foster deeper, more resilient partnerships with our customers across the U.S. and beyond.
We are confident that with a rational, practical approach, U.S.-China trade will gradually return to a path of mutual trust and benefit. We remain committed to serving your needs, ensuring that cooperation continues smoothly and without interruption, regardless of external policy changes.
