CBP Announces Filing Procedures for Recently Granted 3rd Tranche Section 301 Exclusions

CBP will add the ability in ACE for importers to file entries with recently excluded goods in the third tranche of Section 301 tariffs on Sept. 3, it said in a CSMS message. The official Office of the U.S. Trade Representative notice for the exclusions was published Aug. 24 (see 2008210003). The two exclusions are in subheading 9903.88.48. 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 are already expired but will apply retroactively to Sept. 24, 2018, the date the tariffs on the third list took effect, and through Aug. 7, 2020. The CSMS message also includes a summary of Section 301 duties that shows information on each tranche of tariffs and granted product exclusions.
