The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled is an independent Federal agency operating as the U.S. AbilityOne Commission. It oversees the AbilityOne Program, which provides employment opportunities through Federal contracts for people who are blind or have significant disabilities in the manufacture and delivery of products and services to the Federal Government.

Tariff Classification of Hallowe'en Wreath

On March 12, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued Binding Ruling Letter N3589105.

The product under consideration is described as a decorative Halloween wreath. This wreath features black and dark purple leaves and flowers, purple pumpkins, and a black snake all attached to the molded black base. The pumpkins, snake, and base are all made from plastic. The leaves and flowers are constructed from polyester fabric. You indicate the wreath has elements bound together with wire and that glue was used for its assembly. It has a diameter of approximately 24 inches.

The importer suggested that the correct classification for this item is 9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), as a Halloween decoration. CBP notes that this product has no recognized festive motifs that would limit its use only to Halloween. As such, CBP finds this wreath is more appropriately classified under heading 6702. At the subheading level, CBP holds the opinion the polyester fabric leaves and flowers would impart the essential character to this composite good. The classification for this decorative artificial wreath will be 6702.90.3500, HTSUS, which provides for “[a]rtificial flowers, foliage and fruit and parts thereof; articles made of artificial flowers, foliage or fruit: [o]f other materials: [o]ther: [o]f man-made fibers.” The column one, general rate of duty is 9 percent ad valorem.

Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974

March 13, 2026, the Congressional Research Service published an updated version report "Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Title III of the Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 301-310, 19 U.S.C. §§2411-2420), titled "Relief from Unfair Trade Practices," is often collectively referred to as "Section 301." Under Section 301, Congress grants the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) a range of responsibilities and authorities to investigate and take action (e.g., impose a tariff) to enforce U.S. rights under trade agreements and respond to certain foreign trade practices. As of March 2026, there are four ongoing investigations under Section 301. In 2025, the second Trump Administration initiated investigations related to various practices by Brazil and the implementation of the commitments made under the "Phase One" agreement by the People's Republic of China (PRC, or China). In 2026, the Administration initiated two investigations into excess industrial capacity (14 countries and the European Union) and action on forced labor practices (59 countries and the European Union). Tariffs on imports from China imposed in 2018 under Section 301 during the first Trump Administration remain in effect.

The 119th Congress could consider the effectiveness of USTR's Section 301 actions in deterring certain foreign trade practices, the impact of actions taken under Section 301 on the U.S. economy, and whether the authorities are being used in the way Congress intends.

USTR Initiates 60 Section 301 Investigations Relating to Failures to Take Action on Forced Labor

March 12, 2026, COMBATING FORCED LABOR IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY: Today, the United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, launched Section 301 investigations into acts, policies, and practices of 60 economies relating to the failure to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor.

• Forced labor may be understood as work or service extracted from a person under the menace of any penalty for its nonperformance and for which the worker does not offer himself voluntarily.
• For almost 100 years, U.S. law has prohibited the importation of goods mined, produced, or manufactured in whole or in part with forced labor.  International law also universally recognizes that forced labor should not be tolerated.
• However, despite this longstanding consensus, the use of forced labor across the world continues to persist and has even increased in recent years.  
  • For example, the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that as of 2021, 28 million people globally are in forced labor, an increase of 2.7 million since 2016.
• Companies using forced labor benefit from artificially lower labor costs, and, as a result, are able to sell their goods at a lower price than they would otherwise.  This disadvantages U.S. workers and exporters.
• Ending forced labor is a key priority and an economic and national security imperative for the United States.
• These investigations will focus on 60 top U.S. trading partners, collectively covering more than 99% of U.S. imports in 2024.  The 60 trading partners subject to these investigations are listed in the Annex below.
  • Some trading partners have adopted measures intended to stop the importation or sale of goods produced using forced labor.  Additionally, in the context of ongoing U.S. reciprocal trade agreement negotiations, several countries have committed to adopt such measures.  However, none of the economies subject to these investigations appears to have both adopted and effectively enforced a forced labor import prohibition to date.
  • These investigations will examine whether these acts, policies, or practices burden or restrict U.S. commerce, and what action, if any, should be taken.

ADDRESSING UNFAIR COMPETITION IN THE GLOBAL MARKET: Ambassador Greer is launching these investigations pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (Trade Act), which authorizes action to respond to unjustifiable, unreasonable, or discriminatory acts, policies, or practices that burden or restrict U.S. commerce.  

• Under Section 302(b) of the Trade Act, the U.S. Trade Representative (Trade Representative) may self-initiate an investigation under Section 301.
• Upon initiation of these investigations, the Trade Representative must seek consultations with the economies whose acts, policies, or practices are under investigation.  The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) has requested consultations with the governments of the 60 investigated economies.
• As explained in a formal notice, USTR is inviting public comments by April 15 and will hold a public hearing covering each investigated economy starting on April 28.

Tariff Mitigations Strategies

Is your company paying import tariffs, whether under the various tariff actions taken by President Trump or other more-or-less permanent tariffs, there may be relief possible. Agathon Associates has assisted several companies in avoiding, or reducing import tariffs. Contact David Trumbull at david@agathonassociates.com.

Import Tariff Mitigations Strategies

1. The first thing is to define the product you will be importing, and the lesson here is that what industry calls it and what U.S. Customs calls it is not necessarily the same.
2. Confirm the tariff classification, there may be another valid classification with lower, or no, tariff
3. Determine whether some change in the inputs or manufacturing process could result in a change of classification with lower, of no, tariff.
4. Determine whether the correct country of origin is being declared.
5. Determine whether a change to the inputs or manufacturing process could result in a change of country of origin.
6. Evaluate the prospects of getting an exclusion from the tariff. This will include looking successful filings for similar merchandise.
7. Determine whether this merchandise qualifies for duty-free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) which applies to Lesser Developed Countries and Least Developed Countries.
8. Determine whether the merchandise can qualify for duty-free entry from a nation with which the U.S. has a free trade agreement.
9. Determine whether the merchandise can qualify for duty-free entry from a nation that is a beneficiary of Trade Preference Program.
10. Determine whether the merchandise can qualify for duty-free entry from a nation with a U.S. designated Qualified Industrial Zone (QIZ).
11. Determine whether the merchandise has potential to have a duty suspension or reduction by way of the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill (MTB).
12. Assess potential alternative sources.
13. Determine whether a Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) in the U.S. could result in deferral of tariff, reduction in tariff, of legal avoidance of tariff.
