CSMS\n#39985407 – GUIDANCE: Tenth Round of Products Excluded from Section 301 Duties<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

BACKGROUND<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

On September 20, 2019, the\nU.S. Trade Representative (USTR) published Federal Register (FR) Notice 84 FR\n49564 announcing the decision to grant the tenth round of certain exclusion\nrequests from the 25 percent duty assessed under the Section 301 investigation\nrelated to goods from China ($34B Action – Tranche 1). <\/p>\n\n\n

These product exclusions\nrelate to the imposed additional duties announced in 83 FR 28710 on Chinese\ngoods with an annual trade value of approximately $34 billion as part of the\naction in the Section 301 investigation of China\u2019s acts, policies, and\npractices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and\ninnovation.  The product exclusions\nannounced in this notice will retroactively apply as of the July 6, 2018\neffective date of the $34 billion action (Tranche 1) and will extend for one\nyear after the publication of 84 FR 49564.<\/p>\n\n\n

The exclusions are available\nfor any product that meets the description as set out in the Annex to Federal\nRegister Notice 84 FR 49564, regardless of whether the importer filed an\nexclusion request.  Further, the scope of\neach exclusion is governed by the scope of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of\nthe United States (HTSUS) 10-digit headings and product descriptions in the Annex;\nnot by the product descriptions set out in any particular request for\nexclusion.  The Annex to 84 FR 49564 link\nis embedded in this document for ease of reference. ANNEX<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

The functionality for the\nacceptance of the tenth round of products of China excluded from Section 301 duties\nwill be available in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) as of September\n29, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n
