The US Trade Representative (USTR) has officially extended 178 product-specific tariff exclusions under the Section 301 China duties through November 9, 2026. Importers of the covered goods can continue to claim relief from the 25% additional duties, using the designated HTSUS provisions (9903.88.69 and 9903.88.70). You can review the notice here.
This extension provides valuable runway for companies relying on Chinese components or materials, especially where alternative sourcing remains limited. Now is the time to validate eligibility, confirm correct HTS usage, and review potential savings opportunities across your portfolio.
How Alba can help immediately:
- HTS & Compliance Check: We can validate your current product classifications to ensure you can benefit from this extension for as much of your product portfolio as possible
- Post Summary Corrections: If we identify misclassifications where you should have been benefiting, we can investigate and file PSC as appropriate
- Forward Policy Monitoring: We will continue to monitor trade and regulatory updates, and provide you with additional alerts so you can stay ahead of shifts
Please contact us and we can discuss your specific circumstances.
