Product exclusion extensions (imports from China)

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) today released for publication in the Federal Register a notice concerning exclusions from additional U.S. customs tariffs for certain products under the Section 301 investigation of China’s acts, policies, and practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) will implement certain changes to statistical reporting categories in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), effective January 27, 2022.

As a result of these changes, today’s notice [PDF 195 KB] makes three conforming amendments to product exclusion extensions in the Section 301 investigation. The amendments are effective January 27, 2022.
