China Lifts Boeing Delivery Ban Following US-China Tariff Truce

The 90-day tariff reprieve allows Chinese airlines to resume receiving Boeing planes, though future deliveries hinge on broader trade negotiations.

Discretion has been given for airlines to organise delivery on their own timing and terms, Reuters reported.

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.
