The Office of the United States Trade Representative announced on December 26, 2023 the further extension through May 31, 2024, of the reinstated and COVID-related exclusions in the China Section 301 Investigation. (The exclusions were previously scheduled to expire on December 31, 2023). USTR announced the opening of a docket for public comments on existing exclusions on January 22, 2024.
The extension will enable the orderly review of the exclusions consistent with statutory factors and objectives to identify, in which case additional time would enable shifts in sourcing to the United States or third countries. The extension will also facilitate the alignment of further decisions on these exclusions with the ongoing four-year review.
