Deadlines Approaching Fast For Fourth Set Of Section 301 Tariffs

On May 17, 2019, the United States Trade Representative (USTR) published a new proposed list of Chinese origin products that would be subject to additional import tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.¹ This is the fourth list reflecting products with approximately $300 billion in annual import value that could be subject to additional duties at an ad valorem duty rate of up to 25 percent. The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) tariff classifications included in the list cover most of the remaining HTSUS tariff classifications not already identified in the prior three lists.

The additional HTSUS tariff classifications covered by this latest round of proposed Section 301 tariffs can be found on the USTR website. To view the Section 301 Federal Register notices containing the prior three lists, please click on the following links:
