9th Round of Exclusions Granted for China Section 301 List 3 Products

February 20, 2020 – The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) granted a ninth round of exclusions from Section 301 additional duties being assessed on imports of Chinese origin products found on List 3.

The complete Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) number 6505.00.8015 was excluded.

Partially excluded were 46 specific product descriptions.

Exclusions cover 67 separate exclusion requests, and are effective September 24, 2018, through August 6, 2020, using HTS number 9903.88.40.

Partial exclusions may be used when your product meets the specially prepared product description, whether you applied for the exclusion or not.

Refunds for duties previously paid, which are now excluded, may be applied for using a Post Summary Correction (PSC) for unliquidated entries; or a Protest for entries liquidated within the past 180 days.

Importers should contact their Livingston Service representative to request any applicable PSCs or Protests be filed.
