Dear Valued Customer, 

 

This morning, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) announced their intention to split Section 301 List 4 into two parts: List 4A, which will be effective September 1, and List 4B, which will be effective December 15. 

 

Together, both parts of List 4 encompass the remaining $300 billion worth of Chinese imports that, until recently, remained unaffected by Section 301 tariffs. Commodities on List 4A and List 4B include but are not limited to livestock, foodstuffs, chemicals, plastics, garments, footwear, housewares, ceramics, glass, steel, iron, aluminum, tools, machinery, electronics, computers, toys, and exercise equipment; for the full scope of this action, please review the USTR publications below.
