USTR Issues Notice for New Product Exclusions for Section 301 List 3 Tariffs

The Office of the U.S Trade Representative plans to issue some new product exclusions from Section 301 tariffs on the third list of products from China (see 2004230003), it said in a notice. The product exclusions apply retroactively to Sept. 24, 2018, the date the tariffs on the third list took effect, and will remain in effect until Aug. 7, 2020. New subheading 9903.88.45 will be used for these excluded products.

The list three exclusions “are reflected in one 10-digit HTSUS subheading,” 8424.90.9080, which covers one request, it said. The exclusions also include “107 specially prepared product descriptions, which cover 157 separate exclusion requests,” it said.
