CBP Announces Filing Procedures for Recently Granted Third Tranche Section 301 Exclusions

CBP added on Feb. 14 the ability in ACE for importers to file entries with recently excluded goods in the third tranche of Section 301 tariffs, it said in a CSMS message. The official Office of the U.S. Trade Representative notice for the exclusions was published on Feb. 5 (see 2001020035). The exclusions are in subheading 9903.88.38. The exclusions are available for any product that meets the description in the Annex to USTR’s notice, regardless of whether the importer filed an exclusion request. The product exclusions apply retroactively to Sept. 24, 2018, and will expire after Aug. 7, 2020. The CSMS message also includes a summary of Section 301 duties and that shows information on each tranche of tariffs and granted product exclusions.
