USTR Issues More Product Exclusions From List 4 Section 301 Tariffs
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative issued another set of product exclusions from the fourth group of Section 301 tariffs on goods from China. The new exclusions from the tariffs include "three 10-digit HTSUS subheadings and five specially prepared product descriptions, which together respond to 27 separate exclusion requests," according to the notice. The product exclusions apply retroactively to Sept. 1, 2019, the date the fourth set of tariffs took effect. The exclusions will remain in effect until Sept. 1.

USTR also issued two notices correcting previously issued exclusions. One notice makes technical corrections to exclusions from the first group of Section 301 tariffs found in U.S. Note 20(q) to subchapter III of Chapter 99 of the tariff schedule. The other makes technical corrections to exclusions from the second group of tariffs found in U.S. Notes 20(v) and 20(y). The technical corrections "are retroactive to the date the original exclusions were published and do not further extend the period for the original exclusions," USTR said.
