USTR Proposes Multiple New Tariff Actions And Other Trade-Related Measures

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) has recently announced several significant new tariff actions and trade investigations pursuant to Section 301 of the Tariff Act of 1974 and a new Section 301 investigation of Vietnam related to intellectual property protection and enforcement. USTR also recently announced the development of a new government-to-government mechanism to manage trade between the United States and China. These actions impact almost all goods imported into the United States and from nearly all U.S. trading partners. For each action, USTR announced a public comment process, providing companies with an important opportunity to raise trade-related concerns with the Administration.
