Implementing the Reduced China Tariffs

This week, the United States Trade Representative (USTR) published a notice that would reduce reducing the rate of additional tariffs on List 4A products to 7.5%, effective February 14, 2020.

Goods on List 4A are currently subject to a 15% additional tariff, effective Sept. 1, 2019.

This reduction does not affect the 25% tariffs that apply to aircraft parts imported from China.

The notice is only found on the USTR website and has not yet been published in the Federal Register.
