On August 30, 2024, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) issued a press release stating that the agency “intends” to publicize tariff increases on certain products subject to the China section 301 investigation “in the coming days.” The press release addresses the second self-imposed deadline missed by the USTR; initially, the agency announced that the tariff increases would take effect August 1, 2024, but a July 30, 2024 press release announced that the modifications would not be publicized until later “in August 2024” and would still require “approximately two weeks” thereafter to take effect (see Update of July 31, 2024).
