\n(see previous BOC Blasts for additional details \u2013 visit www.bocintl.com to access previous BOC Blasts)
\n 
\nTariff List 3 \u2013 currently at 10%; scheduled to rise to 25% on 1\/1\/19 (see previous BOC Blasts for additional details) \u2013 there is no intermediate tariffs at this point, until\/unless something changes, ie, all products on List 3 are an additional 10% now, 25% January 1.
\n 
\nTariff List 2 \u2013 the final date for filing a request for exclusion from List 2 is December 21, 2018. It is strongly recommended, if you make an exclusion request, to NOT just complete the request form, but to really make a case for why an exclusion should apply \u2013 make sure your reason fits into one of the reasons provided.

\nFrom the Federal Register:\u00a0https:\/\/www.gpo.gov\/fdsys\/pkg\/FR-2018-09-18\/pdf\/2018-20246.pdf<\/a>
\n\u201ceach request specifically must identify a particular product, and provide supporting data and the rationale for the requested exclusion. USTR will evaluate each request on a case-by-case basis, taking into account whether the exclusion would undermine the objective of the Section 301 investigation. Any exclusion will be effective starting from the August 23, 2018 effective date of the additional duties, and extending for one year after the publication of the exclusion determination in the Federal Register. In other words, an exclusion, if granted, will apply retroactively to the August 23 date of the imposition of the additional duties.\u201d
