The latest update is to add the latest round of exemptions from tranche 3 Section 301 tariffs on products from China, published by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on Nov. 29 (see 1911260056). The exclusions are described in new U.S. Note 20(nn) to subchapter III of chapter 99, and are classifiable in new subheading 9903.88.35. The ITC also made conforming changes to other tariff schedule provisions on Section 301 tariffs.
