USTR Allows All China Tariff Exclusions Save COVID-19 Products To Expire

On December 29, 2020, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) published Federal Register notice extending COVID-19 tariff exclusions. These exclusions, which were announced in several rounds in the first half of 2020, would have expired on December 31.

All other China tariff exclusions expired on December 31, 2020 - despite intense pressure from business groups to extend them as well. RV Industry Association members who import products from China should be aware that all exclusions except for the medical products linked above are now expired and consider those costs moving forward. There has been no word from USTR on whether it will consider reinstating those exclusions.
