Background

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has announced amendments to four product exclusions from the Section 301 tariffs on China to reflect recent changes to the ten-digit statistical reporting categories in the HTSUS.

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 the amendments being made to maintain the coverage of these exclusions in light of the HTSUS changes (see the annex to this notice for details) are effective as of July 1, 2026. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will issue instructions on entry guidance and implementation.
