USTR Releases New Notice of Product Exclusions From Section 301 Tariffs

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative issued a sixth list of product exclusions from Section 301 tariffs on goods from China. Newly exempt from the tariffs are "110 specially prepared product descriptions," the agency said. The exclusions cover 362 separate requests, according to the notice, which is scheduled for publication in the July 9 Federal Register. The product exclusions apply retroactively to July 6, 2018, the date the first set of tariffs took effect, and will remain in effect until one year after the notice is published.
