SECTION 301 TARIFFS: List 3 Granted Exclusions Update

EXCLUSIONS GRANTED: On January 2, 2020, the USTR announced additional exclusion requests granted to products on List 3. CBP will issue instructions on entry guidance and implementation through its Cargo Systems Messaging Service.

All exclusions are available for any product that meets the description in the Annex to each notice and enumerated ten-digit HTSUS classification, regardless of whether the importer filed an exclusion request. The scope of each exclusion is governed by the scope of the product descriptions in the Annex, and not by the product descriptions set out in any particular request for exclusion. Clients may also benefit through filing Post-Summary Corrections or Protests for those entries now covered by a List 3 product exclusion to secure refunds plus interest.
Details of the granted exclusions are below.

LIST 3: The exclusions granted to List 3 products are reflected in 2 ten-digit HTS subheadings and 66 specially prepared product descriptions, which cover 81 separate exclusion requests, outlined in the Annex to the notice. These exclusions will apply as of the September 24, 2018 effective date of the $200 billion action, and are effective until August 7, 2020. View the notice here.

REMINDER

LIST 4A EXCLUSION REQUEST PORTAL OPEN: The USTR will continue to accept Section 301 List 4A product exclusion requests through its online portal until the submission deadline, January 31, 2020.
