The US Trade Representative has announced the exclusion process for products covered under Chinese 301 tariff List 4A. An electronic portal will open October 31, 2019 and run through January 31,2020 for submission of exclusion requests. Users must register on the portal at https://exclusions.ustr.gov.
Detailed instructions for what must be included in the request are available in the USTR’s announcement. We encourage stakeholders to submit requests early. Once granted, the exclusion will be retroactive to September 1, 2019 and valid for one year.
