ITC Issues Two More Revisions to 2020 HTS to Implement Section 301 Exclusion Changes

The International Trade Commission recently issued two more revisions to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to implement extended and new exclusions from Section 301 tariffs on China. In Revision 11, issued May 29, the ITC implemented new exclusions from List 3 tariffs under U.S. Note 20(aaa) and subheading 9903.88.48 (see 2005220020). The agency also removed two list 4 exclusions (see 2005270022), and extended some exclusions from the first list of Section 301 tariffs that had been set to expire May 14 (see 2005130003), according to the change record.

In Revision 10, the ITC added new exclusions from list 3 and list 4 Section 301 tariffs under U.S. Notes 20(yy) and 20(zz), as well as subheadings 9903.88.46 and 9903.88.47, respectively (see 2005050037 and 2005110027). The ITC also made technical corrections to exclusions from the first group of Section 301 tariffs found in U.S. Note 20(q) to subchapter III of Chapter 99 of the tariff schedule, as well as to exclusions from the second group of tariffs found in U.S. Notes 20(v) and 20(y).
