One week remains for clients to submit comments in response to review of potential reciprocal tariffs being conducted by the U.S. Trade Representative ("USTR"). Comments are due by March 11, 2025. The USTR solicited comments from the public on global unfair trade practices in a Federal Register notice published February 25, 2025 (90 FR 10677). The review follows the White House's Memorandum on Reciprocal Trade and Tariffs published on February 13, 2025.

The USTR will review comments and identify unfair trade practices and recommend appropriate actions to address those practices. The review will result in delivery of a report to the President which is anticipated by April 1, 2025. Reciprocal tariffs are expected to be announced shortly afterward. Additional remedies for unfair trade practice may follow.
