The Office of U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) released a request for comments on several proposed actions included in the final modifications of the Section 301 tariffs. On Sept. 13, USTR finalized several tariff increases on Chinese goods to conclude the statutory four-year review process in which the agency reviews the overall effectiveness of existing Section 301 tariffs and proposes future actions to combat China's anticompetitive behavior. USTR largely upheld President Biden's requested modifications, which included a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles (EV), a 50% tariff on semiconductors, a 50% tariff on solar cells and a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum products, among other changes.
