Ten additional goods are being excluded from the Section 301 additional tariff (currently 7.5 percent) on List 4A goods from China. It is likely that these will be the last exclusions for List 4A products.
These exclusions, which must be claimed using new HTSUS subheading 9903.88.55, will be retroactive to Sept. 1, 2019, and remain in place until Sept. 1, 2020. Importers may utilize these exclusions for any products that meet the descriptions below, even if they did not request it. Importers of affected goods should act now to obtain refunds of Section 301 tariffs paid on such goods since Sept. 1, 2019.
Importers also have an Aug. 20 deadline to submit comments on whether these exclusions should be exted for up to 12 months given that they are currently scheduled to remain in effect for less than one month.
