USTR extends Section 301 tariffs exclusions for products from China

The U.S. Trade Representative has actively adjusted measures in the Section 301 investigation regarding China's practices in technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation. Specific Chinese products were exempted from additional duties. In September 2023, the U.S. Trade Representative decided to extend 352 previously reinstated exclusions and 77 COVID-related exclusions until December 31, 2023. This latest announcement officially confirms the extension of these exclusions for an additional five months, until May 31, 2024. Additionally, the U.S. Trade Representative is proactively opening a public comment docket on January 22, 2024, to collect input on the potential further extension of specific exclusions. It is crucial to note the extension of reinstated and COVID-related product exclusions through May 31, 2024, as detailed in the Federal Register notice.
