EXCLUSIONS GRANTED: On September 27, 2019, the USTR announced additional exclusion requests granted to products on List 1 and List 2. 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. Importers may file Post-Summary Corrections or Protests for those entries now covered by a List 1 or 2 product exclusion to secure refunds plus interest.
Details of the granted exclusions are below.
LIST 1: The exclusions granted to List 1 products are reflected in 92 specially prepared product descriptions, which cover 129 separate exclusion requests, outlined in the Annex to the notice. These exclusions will apply as of the July 6, 2018 effective date of the $34 billion action, and will extend for one year after the publication of the notice. View the notice here.
LIST 2: The exclusions granted to List 2 products are reflected in 111 specially prepared product descriptions, which cover 382 separate exclusion requests, outlined in the Annex to the notice. These exclusions will apply as of the August 23, 2018 effective date of the $16 billion action, and will extend for one year after the publication of the notice. View the notice here.
