Section 301 tariff exclusions

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has established an exclusion process for Section 301 tariffs on China. In a series of rounds since the tariffs took effect, importers have been able to request exclusions from the tariffs, as well as extensions to existing exclusions. Many exclusions have been allowed to expire, as well. Section 301 exclusions are applicable to all importers of a given good, which may be defined as an entire tariff schedule subheading or a subset of a subheading outlined in a written description.

China Chassis: Commerce Rescinds 2023-24 AD Admin Review
January 22, 2025 |AD/CV - Patent

The Commerce Department said it's rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain chassis and subassemblies thereof from China (A-570-135) for the period of review July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the review period for any of the companies for which the review had been requested. The Coalition of American Chassis Manufacturers had requested the administrative review cover four exporters -- CIMC Vehicles (Group) Co., Ltd.; Dongguan CIMC Vehicles Co., Ltd.; Qingdao CIMC Special Vehicles Co., Ltd; and SinoTrailers. Commerce will instruct CBP to assess AD on all appropriate entries, at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated AD required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, it said.
