If the terms on the contract are DDP (Delivery Duty Paid), which a lot of customers in China request, then the taxes and duties at the point of entry to China are paid by the exporter. You want to use terms DAP (Delivered at Place) and name the port or airport. The importer is then responsible for all local charges, including these sudden tariffs.

They're similar, but in DAP the risk transfers at the named destination port whereas with FOB risk transfers once loaded at the origin port.
