Key Notes:
- The Section 301 tariff actions have been effective in encouraging China to take steps toward eliminating its unfair practices, but it has not eliminated many of its forced technology transfer-related acts, policies and practices.
- Products currently subject to Section 301 duties will remain subject to the existing additional duties.
- The USTR will implement new tariffs on seven specific sectors where China continues to rely on government policies and nonmarket practices to unfairly capture market share.
- The USTR will establish a product exclusion process for certain critical machinery used in domestic manufacturing.
