The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) announced the extension of exclusions for numerous COVID-19 products that are subject to China Section 301 tariffs. The exclusions originally scheduled to expire on November 30, 2022, have been extended until February 28, 2023. The exclusions cover 81 medical care products and were initially granted in December 2020.

Read Full Release HERE

Next Steps

Although the reinstated exclusions are set to end in February 2023, USTR remains open to “further extensions, as appropriate.” The agency, however, would likely prefer to maintain flexibility to adjust.

If you have any questions about how USTR’s action may impact your imports or Section 301 litigation, please Contact Us anytime.

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) reinstated 352 product exclusions applicable to certain Chinese-origin goods subject to Section 301 tariffs in a notice published on March 28, 2022. USTR reinstated more than half of previously available exclusions, covering a range of manufactured, mechanical and consumer goods. USTR weighed several factors in assessing whether to reinstate the exclusions, namely economic harm, impacts on small businesses, employment, manufacturing output, critical supply chains and the impact of the exclusions on the goal of eliminating China’s harmful trade policies and practices. A complete list of reinstated exclusions is available in the Annex to the March 28 Federal Register notice, See it HERE.

The reinstated exclusions apply to any product that meets the relevant product exclusion description and do not require the U.S. importer to have previously requested a product exclusion. However, the exclusions continue to be highly specific, meaning importers must carefully consider whether their goods meet the relevant specifications.

The reinstated exclusions are retroactive to Oct. 12, 2021, and are available through Dec. 31, 2022. Importers of qualifying Chinese-origin products can request refunds of Section 301 tariffs paid on entries made on or after Oct. 12, 2021, so long as those entries are unliquidated or within 180 days of liquidation. Importers of qualifying goods should therefore act promptly to secure refunds. Any importers of qualifying Chinese-origin products will not need to pay additional tariffs through Dec. 31, 2022, so long as the proper paperwork is completed.

USTR’s decision is part of the agency’s ongoing effort to realign U.S. trade policies toward China under President Biden. The House Committee on Ways and Means on the President’s 2022 Trade Policy Agenda, Ambassador Katherine Tai said that it is time to turn the page on the old playbook with China; that rather than seek to change China’s behavior, the U.S. must develop new domestic tools to defend its economic interests. Whether such tools will include elements of the “old playbook,” such as tariffs, remains unclear. However, some lawmakers are keen to have an established exclusion process available if the tariffs remain for the foreseeable future.

Next Steps

Although the reinstated exclusions are set to end in December of this calendar year, USTR remains open to “further extensions, as appropriate.” The agency, however, would likely prefer to maintain flexibility to adjust the tariff toggle in the ongoing Section 301 dispute with China.

Another avenue of relief available to importers is to participate, as a plaintiff, in the ongoing Section 301 litigation (currently awaiting decision from the U.S. Court of International Trade, before likely being appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit). Importers not currently party to the litigation may still join the 4,000-plus plaintiff class, so long as they import/imported Chinese-origin products, appearing on the so-called Lists 3 and 4A, and have paid Section 301 duties thereon.

If you have any questions about how USTR’s action may impact your imports or Section 301 litigation, please Contact Us anytime.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) Tuesday struck at the core of President Trump’s trade war on China, ruling that the tariffs he imposed in 2018 on $234 billion worth of Chinese goods ran afoul of U.S. commitments under global trading rules.

The U.S. tariffs against China were authorized under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which empowers the president to levy tariffs and other import restrictions whenever a foreign country imposes unfair trade practices that affect U.S. commerce. The Trump administration has claimed the tariffs were necessary to confront China’s widespread violations of intellectual property rights and forced technology transfer policies.

Though the use of Section 301 isn’t unprecedented, the provision largely fell out of favor in the 1990s after the U.S. agreed to first follow the WTO’s dispute-settlement process before it triggered any retaliatory trade actions.

The ruling will have no immediate impact on U.S. customs officials’ ability to collect the import taxes from American importers. The administration said its tariffs were needed to curb years of trade cheating by China. But in a 66-page report, the panel rejected that claim.

“The United States has not met its burden of demonstrating that the measures are justified,” the panel concluded.

The U.S. can stall any further action by appealing Tuesday’s ruling. The administration has blocked for months the appointment of new members to the WTO’s appellate body, leaving the organization unable to fulfill its assigned role of adjudicating trade spats.

What can importers do?

The situation remains very fluid. We are advising clients to do the following:

• Know whether your imports are affected and decide what you’re going to do about it.
• If you have a question about whether your products are affected by these or other tariffs, we may be able to help. We can tell you what impact the tariffs will have on your shipments, and help you file a claim for an exemption.
• Consider sourcing options in other countries besides China.

A new challenge has been filed in the US Court of International Trade (CIT) contesting the assessment of the List 3 and List 4 tariffs that have been imposed on goods from China under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.  The lawsuit alleges that the tariffs were imposed in an untimely manner and to retaliate against Chinese tariff measures. The lawsuit alleges they were not to remedy China’s unfair trade practices, and therefore were not authorized under the Trade Act.  The suit further alleges the USTR failed to comply with the Administrative Procedures Act when imposing the tariffs.

If successful, these cases could result in the refund to the plaintiffs of all tariffs they paid on the List 3 and 4 goods over the past two years, and up until the case is resolved.  It is probable that only importers that file their own lawsuits will be able to recover refunds, at least with respect to entries that have been liquidated by CBP.  While importers can file protests on liquidated entries, there is no certainty that CBP would be authorized to issue refunds to importers without a case filed in court.

The lawsuit is based upon the court’s residual jurisdiction, 28 USC 1581(i). The deadline to file in court is two (2) years after the cause of action accrues.  The USTR published notice imposing the List 3 duties on September 21, 2018, and the duties took effect on all entries for consumption on or after September 24, 2018.  The safest course of action to ensure meeting the two-year deadline with respect to List 3 tariffs would be to file a court claim on or before September 20, 2020.  Importers not meeting that deadline may still be able to assert that the two-year deadline runs from the date the tariffs were paid, and thus a later filed lawsuit would be timely with respect to any tariffs paid during the previous two years.  We caution that, based upon prior court precedent, there is uncertainty as to whether the two-year filing deadline runs from date of the USTR decision or date of payment of the tariffs.

What importers should know:

The situation remains very fluid. We are advising clients to do the following:

• Know whether your imports are affected and decide what you’re going to do about it.
• If you have a question about whether your products are affected by these or other tariffs, we may be able to help. We can tell you what impact the tariffs had on your shipments, and suggest a law firm handling these lawsuits.
• You can do nothing. Everything is still very fluid and there is a chance that the legal challenge will result a credit for everyone.
• We urge individual importers, associations and others seeking to participate in the lawsuit to Contact Us ASAP.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) issued a number of exclusions to the Section 301 China assessment program. These exclusion orders resulted in millions of dollars of duty refunds for our clients.  In order for importers to have taken advantage of these opportunities they had to file protective claims or timely claims to keep viable their rights to refunds.

Unfortunately, some importers were not able to take advantage of these granted exclusions because they did not file timely claims. Please note that we are working on a time sensitive strategy to revive such time-barred claims. If you missed filing claims on products eligible for an exclusion from Section 301 duties and would be interested in pursuing refunds back to the date their entries first became subject to 301, contact us.

Please note that this concept of private legislation is separate from the current action in the CIT to request refunds of China 301 duties paid on list 3 and list 4A goods. It is limited to only importers who could have taken advantage of exclusion orders but failed to do so in a timely fashion. The litigation in the CIT is likely to play out over the next two years.  The private legislation concept will be limited and should be concluded by the end of the year.

What importers should know:

The situation remains very fluid. We are advising you do the following:

• Know whether your imports are affected and decide what you’re going to do about it.
• If you have a question about whether your products are affected by these or other tariffs, we may be able to help. We can tell you what impact the tariffs will have on your shipments, and help you file a claim for an exclusion.
• We urge individual importers, associations and others seeking exclusions from the tariffs to Contact Us ASAP.

New exclusions from the duties on Chinese imports have been announced by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), representing a sixth round of exclusions requests from the 25 percent duty assessed under the Section 301 List of goods from China.

These product exclusions relate to the imposed additional duties announced in 83 FR 47974 on Chinese goods, with an annual trade value of approximately $200 billion. The exclusions retroactively apply to September 24, 2018 and are slated to remain in effect through August 7, 2020. Any claims for duty refunds require affirmative action on the part of importers in the form of post-entry corrections or protests.

The exclusions are available for any product that meets the description as set out in Annex A to Federal Register Notice 84 FR 69012 regardless of whether or not the importer filed an exclusion request. This means that your company might benefit from the exclusion no matter who files the request.

*   Importers shall not submit the corresponding Chapter 99 HTS number for the Section 301 duties when HTS 9903.88.36 is submitted.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Duty exclusions granted by the USTR are retroactive for imports on or after the initial effective date of September 24, 2018.   To request a refund of Section 301 duties paid on previous imports of products granted duty exclusions by the USTR, importers may file a Post Summary Correction (PSC) if within the PSC filing timeframe. If the entry is beyond the PSC filing timeframe, importers may protest the liquidation.

Reminder: When importers, brokers, and/or filers are submitting an entry summary in which a heading or subheading in Chapter 99 is claimed on imported merchandise, refer them to CSMS 39587858 (Entry Summary Order of Reporting for Multiple HTS when 98 or 99 HTS are Required).

Imports which have been granted a product exclusion from the Section 301 measures, and which are not subject to the Section 301 duties, are not covered by the Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) provisions of the Section 301 Federal Register notices, but instead are subject to the FTZ provisions in 19 CFR part 146.
