Travel Goods, Apparel, and Other Textile Articles Considered for China 301 Exclusions

On October 5, 2021, USTR released a list of 549 articles which had been excluded from the China Section 301 tariff action and which had subsequently had that exclusion extended in time. All are now expired. USTR is considering reinstating those exclusions. Fifty of the exclusions under consideration relate to:

  • Travel goods,
  • Apparel,
  • Sewn products (made-up goods), or
  • Other, mostly household, goods that incorporate textiles.

USTR will begin taking comments on October 12, 2021, and will take comments until December 1, 2021.
