Lists 4A and 4B for 301 China Tariffs Published

The US Trade Representative has published a notice in the August 20th Federal Register with Lists 4A and 4B in the latest round of 301 tariffs on Chinese products.

List 4A goes into effect at 10% for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after September 1, 2019. These goods will be entered using HTS subheading 9903.88.15.

List 4B goes into effect at 10% for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after December 15, 2019. Goods on List 4B will be entered using HTS subheading 9903.88.16.

Articles on list 4B include certain consumer electronics, toys, and footwear and apparel items. These items were delayed to minimize the impact to consumers at Christmas.

Several tariff subheadings proposed for List 4 in May were removed from the final split lists based on health, safety, national security, and other factors, according to the USTR. These items include certain fish, chemicals, bibles, cranes, shipping containers, and child safety seats.
