Commerce Seeks Comments on Draft Critical Goods Lists

The International Trade Administration is asking for comments on what critical goods and materials on a draft list prepared by the Commerce Department should remain on the list. The draft list covers public health, information and communications technology, energy and critical minerals. Comments will be due Nov. 3, and can be submitted at regulations.gov for Docket ID ITA-2022-0010, and should include the 8-digit or 10-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule subheading of the goods and minerals requested for addition.

The government will track imports of these goods as part of its work to "identify risks, address vulnerabilities, and develop a strategy to promote American supply chains resiliency."
