Extensions of Section 301 Exclusions

I have been asked by several persons about pending requests to extend certain Section 301 exclusions that are scheduled to expire August 7, 2020. This exclusions are from List 3 of the 301 actions. No List 3 exclusions have yet been extended. Past experience indicates that if extensions are granted they will likely come out just before the expiration day. Obviously, such timing will make sourcing decisions difficult.

For example --
