Section 301 Tariffs on Imports from China Officially Continued

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has issued a formal notice of the continuation of the Section 301 tariffs currently in place on a broad range of products from China.

These tariffs range from 7.5 percent to 25 percent and are assessed on about $370 billion worth of imports from China across four lists (lists 1-4A). There are 178 exclusions to these tariffs that are currently valid through Nov. 9.

USTR states that, following a May 2026 notification of the possible termination of these tariffs, it received numerous requests to continue them from a range of domestic industries that benefit from them. As a result, the tariffs did not terminate on July 6 or Aug. 23 (their four-year anniversary dates) and remain in effect.

USTR notes that these tariffs are “subject to possible further modifications, including any modifications resulting from the statutory four-year review” that the agency will now conduct. USTR will publish a separate notice describing the process for this review, which will include inviting comments on the effectiveness of the tariffs in achieving the objectives of the Section 301 investigation, other actions that could be taken, and the effects of such actions on the U.S. economy, including consumers.
