301 Exclusion Requests

The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) uses a process under which U.S. stakeholders can request the exclusion of particular products classified within a covered tariff subheading from the additional duties on certain products from China imposed as a result of the Section 301 investigation. Requests for exclusion have to identify a particular product and provide supporting data and the rationale for the requested exclusion. Within 14 days after USTR posts a request for exclusion, interested persons can provide a response with the reasons they support or oppose the request. Interested persons can reply to the response within 7 days after it is posted. USTR is adding a related process to allow U.S. stakeholders to request and comment on the extension of particular exclusions granted under the December 2018 product exclusion notice.
