There is currently no open process for seeking exclusions from the Section 301 tariffs on imports from China or the Section 232 tariffs on aluminum and steel imports, even though both the trade community and some lawmakers are advocating for one.
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.
