On March 19, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) published a Federal Register notice announcing a list of products given a one-year extension on current tariff exclusions granted in this Federal Register notice, dated March 25, 2019.
This batch of exclusions was the second of those announced by the USTR and part of the first round of Section 301 tariffs on $34 billion worth of products imported from China; they are set to expire on March 25, 2020. AHRI alerted members to the opportunity to submit public comments to the USTR on January 6, 2020.
AHRI staff reviewed the list of products granted a tariff exclusion extension and did not identify any member products. AHRI staff recommends that members review the notice for a comprehensive assessment specific to individual member companies.
