Overview
- China has officially removed its ban on Boeing aircraft deliveries after a temporary trade truce with the United States.
- The US agreed to reduce tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, while China lowered its duties on US goods from 125% to 10% for 90 days.
- Chinese airlines now have discretion over the timing and terms of receiving Boeing planes during the truce period.
- The ban, imposed in April, had forced Boeing to remarket up to 50 jets originally destined for Chinese carriers, with interest from buyers in India, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia.
- The resumption of deliveries remains uncertain beyond the 90-day reprieve, as it depends on resolving broader US-China trade tensions.
