The first set of exclusions to List 1 for the Chinese 301 duties is due to expire December 28, 2019. The US Trade Representative has decided to consider extending certain exclusions granted in the first round in December 2018 for up to 12 months, and is accepting comments until November 30, 2019.
The comments are to be for the first set of exclusions to List 1 only. The comments must address specific issues that are outlined in the Federal Register notice. The fact that the USTR is looking at a 12 month extension could be a sign that 301 duties are not going away any time soon.
