USTR Announces China Section 301 Tariffs – List Includes HVACR and Water Heating Products
On June 15, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) announced plans to move ahead with Section 301 tariffs, which will be phased in. USTR has published a first list of 818 tariff lines, which is now final. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will collect the tariffs starting July 6.
A second list of 284 tariff lines includes new products that were not included in the April preliminary list published by USTR. This list is still subject to a public notice and comment period, including a public hearing, and is therefore likely to change.
