In a notice to be published in the Federal Register, the office of the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) has issued its request for comments on proposed modifications to the China 301 tariffs and the associated exclusion process for certain machinery. This proposal is being issued further to the USTR’s report on its Four Year review of the China 301 program and the direction of the White House (further information here). Notably, the notice is silent as to the fate of the existing exclusions scheduled to expire on May 31, 2024.
Comments on the USTR proposal may be submitted via an electronic portal from May 29, 2024 through June 28, 2024.
The proposed actions fall into three categories.
