Key Deadlines
-
Section 301 Forced Labor Investigation: Rebuttal comments due July 16
-
U.S.-China Board of Trade Review: Rebuttal comments due July 27
Section 301 Forced Labor Investigation
This investigation is being conducted under Section 301 and could result in additional tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on products from 61 economies. Interested parties have the opportunity to provide comments explaining why specific products should be excluded from the proposed tariff measures.
U.S.-China Board of Trade Review
As part of the Administration’s commitment to reduce tariffs on approximately $30 billion worth of Chinese goods, the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) is seeking input to identify non-sensitive products imported from China that may be appropriate for tariff removal.
Businesses that may be impacted by either initiative should consider reviewing the proposals and submitting rebuttal comments where appropriate.
If you have questions regarding these proceedings, please contact your Deringer representative.
Due to the rapidly changing application and modifications of duty rates, please note that Deringer is not responsible for coordinating the timing of U.S. entry and imposed tariff rates.
