The US Trade Representative has issued the first set of exclusions to List 4A for the Chinese 301 duties. All 8 exclusions are at the tariff level and include medical products such as soap, laboratory ware, examination gloves, and surgical drapes.
These exclusions appear to have been fast-tracked by the USTR in response to the corona virus outbreak as the deadline for exclusion requests for List 4A was January 31st. These exclusions are to be claimed using tariff number 9903.88.39, are retroactive to September 1, 2019, and will remain in place until September 1, 2020.
