Section 232, 301 & Other Trade Remedy Tariff Exclusion Opportunities

Periodically, there are open processes to seek exclusions from the Section 232, Section 301, and other trade remedy tariffs. Such exclusions allow importers to eliminate the payment of such tariffs when importing into the United States. Federal agencies can be receptive to requests from businesses and industries to exclude certain products based on national security and economic interests.

However, there are many duty savings strategies that can be used to avoid or reduce these tariffs, including bonded facilities, free trade agreements and trade preference programs, tariff engineering, the first sale rule, and duty drawback.
