USTR initiates Section 301 investigation of China’s targeting of maritime, logistics, shipbuilding sectors for dominance

Examination of whether the acts, policies, or practices are unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce

April 17, 2024

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) today issued a release announcing the initiation of a Section 301 investigation of China’s acts, policies, and practices targeting the maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding sectors for dominance.

Read the USTR formal notice

Background

Five national labor unions in March 2024 filed a petition requesting an investigation into China’s acts, policies, and practices targeting the maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding sectors for dominance.

A Section 301(b) investigation examines whether the acts, policies, or practices are unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce. After consideration of the petition and on the advice of the Section 301 Committee, the USTR has initiated an investigation.
