In a direct response to the United States’ Section 301 Port Fee measures targeting Chinese-linked maritime interests, China has announced the imposition of Special Port Service Fees on vessels deemed to be “linked to the United States.” The fees, introduced by China’s Ministry of Transport on 10 October, took effect on 14 October 2025.
