CBP Announces Filing Procedures for Recently Granted 4th Tranche Section 301 Exclusions

CBP will add the ability in ACE for importers to file entries with recently excluded goods in the fourth tranche of Section 301 tariffs on Aug. 6, it said in a CSMS message. The official Office of the U.S. Trade Representative notice for the exclusions was published July 23 (see 2007210026). The exclusions are in subheading 9903.88.53. 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. 1, 2019, the date the tariffs on the fourth list took effect, and remain in effect until Sept. 1, 2020. The CSMS message also includes a summary of Section 301 duties that shows information on each tranche of tariffs and granted product exclusions.
