USTR Issues Additional Product Exclusions from Section 301 List 4A Tariffs | Samuel Shapiro & Company, Inc.
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) issued a new set of product exclusions from Section 301 List 4A Chinese tariffs.
The List 4A notice contains 2 HTS subheadings that are completely excluded and 32 partially excluded subheadings from List 4A tariffs, covering 55 separate exclusion requests.
The exclusions will retroactively apply to all products meeting the specified criteria effective September 1, 2019 – the date the U.S. first imposed List 4A duties – and will expire on September 1, 2020.
All importers who have an eligible product are able to claim an exemption under the new exclusions, regardless of whether the importer filed an exclusion request. The USTR will continue to issue decisions on pending exclusion requests on a periodic basis.
For all Shapiro customers, if you have requested this service, your Shapiro point of contact will be in touch shortly to discuss the latest round of exclusions, should they apply to your products.
