The US Trade Representative has issued a notice in the Federal Register requesting comments for further exclusions for medical supplies to address the Covid-19 outbreak. Comments can be submitted until June 25, 2020. The USTR states this deadline could be extended.
The notice says, “Each comment specifically must identify the particular product of concern and explain precisely how the product relates to the response to the COVID–19 outbreak. For example, the comment may address whether a product is directly used to treat COVID– 19 or to limit the outbreak, and/or whether the product is used in the production of needed medical-care products.”
Furthermore, comments may be submitted for products that are still pending review and for products where a previous exclusion request was denied. Please refer to the Federal Register notice for details on how to submit the comments.
