Section 301 Exclusions Extended Through Sept. 30

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative is extending tariff exclusions for 352 products from China that had been scheduled to expire Dec. 31. Those exclusions will now last until Sept. 30.

These are a subset of the original exclusions granted during the Trump administration, and they were restored Oct. 12, 2021.

A prepublication version of USTR's Federal Register notice said the decision to extend these exclusions was made in light of both the ongoing review of the entire Section 301 action against Chinese imports and comments back in October 2021 that said the goods were not available outside China, or that the additional tariffs caused importers "possible severe economic harm."
