USTR Notice on Section 301 Tariff Increase Delay Set for Publication on Dec. 19

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative's notice officially delaying a planned tariff increase on goods from China is set for publication in the Federal Register on Dec. 19. Publication is a necessary step for CBP to implement the delay in ACE (see 1812140046). The third tranche of Section 301 tariffs will now go up to 25 percent from 10 percent on March 2, 2019, unless further progress is made in talks with China (see 1812010001).
