It is often said that the US tariffs on China have risen to 245%, but in reality, this is not the case. It's not a new addition, it's a description of the highest tax rate in the past. The original text of the press release, "up to", means the highest tax rate can reach 245%
The calculation of the specific tariff rates for various segmented lacrimal goods exported from China to the United States now should include several parts:
1) Basic tax rate during peacetime
2) Trade protectionism tariffs that existed before 2025 (previously 232, steel and automobiles were mostly 25%)
3) Fentanyl tariff of 20% against China, and the recent equivalent tariff of 125%
Adding all of these together will result in different tariff rates for different categories of goods, as the US media has already calculated the tariff rates for each category. You will find that the news says that there is a category in the US tariffs on China that has reached a maximum of 245%. Not to say everything. The picture shows syringes and needles. The characteristics of this type of product are that the production cost in the United States is extremely high, even much higher than the factory price in China, and China's production capacity is enormous.
