More China\nList 1 Tariff Exclusions Extended but Only for Six Months<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

These\nexclusions are available for any product that meets the specified product\ndescription, regardless of whether the importer filed an exclusion request. <\/p>\n\n\n

The Office\nof the U.S. Trade Representative has extended the exclusion of the following\nproducts from the Section 301 additional 25 percent tariff on imports of List 1\ngoods from China.<\/p>\n\n\n

– HTSUS\n8481.10.0090 (other pressure-reducing valves)<\/p>\n\n\n

– HTSUS\n8483.50.9040 (other flywheels and pulleys)<\/p>\n\n\n

–\nfiltering or purifying machinery or apparatus of a kind used for waste water\ntreatment (described in HTSUS 8421.21.0000)<\/p>\n\n\n

– air\npurification equipment, electrically powered, weighing less than 36 kg\n(described in HTSUS 8421.39.8015)<\/p>\n\n\n

–\narmatures designed for use in hydraulic solenoid valves (described in HTSUS 8481.90.9040)<\/p>\n\n\n

– C-poles,\nof steel, designed for use in hydraulic solenoid control valves (described in\nHTSUS 8481.90.9040)<\/p>\n\n\n

– metering\nspools, of aluminum, designed for use in hydraulic solenoid control valves\n(described in HTSUS 8481.90.9040)<\/p>\n\n\n

– metering\nspools, of steel, designed for use in hydraulic solenoid control valves\n(described in HTSUS 8481.90.9040)<\/p>\n\n\n

– poles,\nof steel, designed for use in hydraulic solenoid control valves (described in\nHTSUS 8481.90.9040)<\/p>\n\n\n

– push\npins, of steel, designed for use in hydraulic solenoid control valves\n(described in HTSUS 8481.90.9040)<\/p>\n\n\n

–\nretainers, of steel, designed for use in hydraulic solenoid control valves\n(described in HTSUS 8481.90.9040)<\/p>\n\n\n

These\nexclusions are available for any product that meets the specified product\ndescription, regardless of whether the importer filed an exclusion request. The\nscope of each exclusion is governed by the scope of the specified 10-digit\nHTSUS subheadings and product descriptions and not by the product descriptions\nin any particular request.<\/p>\n\n\n

However,\nthis extension of these exclusions is only valid until Dec. 31, not for an\nentire year as has previously been the case. USTR states that this shortened\nextension is due to \u201cthe cumulative effect of current and possible future\nexclusions or extensions of exclusions on the effectiveness of\u201d the Section 301\ntariffs. USTR explains that it has granted more than 6,200 exclusion requests\nto date, has extended some of these exclusions, and may consider further\nextensions. In addition, more than 8,600 exclusion requests are pending on List\n4 goods. USTR states that it will take account of the cumulative effect of\nexclusions in considering the possible further extension of these and other\nexclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n

On the\nother hand, the tariff exclusions granted in May 2019 for the following items\nare not being extended and will therefore expire May 14, at which point the 25\npercent additional tariff will again be imposed on these goods.<\/p>\n\n\n

China\nAnnounces Second Round of Tariff Exclusions for U.S. Goods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
