USTR to Weigh Extending Just-Issued and Forthcoming List 4A Tariff Exclusions

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative seeks comment by Aug. 14 in a docket whether it should extend recently granted and forthcoming List 4A tariff exclusions on Chinese imports for up to a year beyond Sept. 1, said a notice. Its evaluation will focus on whether a product remains available only from China, despite imposition of the List 4A tariffs in September, it said: Importers should describe any changes in the global supply chain since List 4A took effect and what they did to source the product from the U.S. or a third country.
