In a notice published on May
9, 2019 (May 9 Notice), the U.S. Trade
Representative (Trade Representative)
increased the rate of additional duty
from 10 percent to 25 percent for the
products of China covered by the
September 2018 action that are (i)
entered for consumption, or withdrawn
from warehouse for consumption, on or
after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on
May 10, 2019, and (ii) exported to the
United States on or after May 10, 2019.
This notice provides that products of
China that are covered by the September
2018 action and that were exported to
the United States prior to May 10, 2019,
are not subject to the additional duty of
25 percent, as long as such products are
entered into the United States prior to
June 1, 2019. Such products remain
subject to the additional duty of 10
percent for this interim period.
DATES: HTSUS heading 9903.88.09,
which is set out in the Annex to this
notice, applies to products of China
covered by the September 2018 action
that were exported before May 10, 2019,
and entered into the United States on or
after May 10, 2019, and before June 1,
2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
questions about this notice, contact
Associate General Counsel Arthur Tsao
or Assistant General Counsel Juli
Schwartz, or Director of Industrial
Goods Justin Hoffmann at (202) 395–
5725. For questions on customs
classification or implementation of
additional duties on products covered
in the supplemental action, contact
traderemedy@cbp.dhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the May
9 Notice, the Trade Representative
modified the action being taken in the
Section 301 investigation by increasing
the rate of additional duty from 10
percent to 25 percent for the products of
China covered by the September 2018
action in this investigation. The
‘‘September 2018 action’’ refers to the
additional duties on products of China
with an annual trade value of
approximately $200 billion, published
at 83 FR 47974 (Sep. 21, 2018), as
subsequently modified by the notice
published at 83 FR 49153 (September
28, 2018). The increase in the rate of
additional duty became effective on
May 10, 2019.
Under this implementing
modification, and as specified in the
Annex to this notice, products of China
that are covered by the September 2018
action that were exported prior to May
10, 2019, are not subject to the
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00145
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
additional duty of 25 percent as long as
such products are entered into the
United States prior to June 1, 2019.
Such products remain subject to the
additional duty of 10 percent for a
transitional period of time before June 1,
2019. The covered products of China
that are entered into the United States
on or after June 1, 2019, are subject to
the 25 percent rate of additional duty.
To distinguish between covered
products of China subject to the 10
percent rate of additional duty from
those subject to the 25 percent rate, the
Annex to this notice creates a new
heading in Chapter 99 of the HTSUS
(9903.88.09) for products of China
covered by the September 2018 action
that were exported before May 10, 2019,
and entered into the United States on or
after May 10, 2019 and before June 1,
2019. HTSUS heading 9903.88.09 is
limited to covered products of China
entered into the United States during
this period of time to account for
customs enforcement factors and the
average transit time between China and
the United States by sea.
The products of China covered by the
September 2018 action that are admitted
into a foreign-trade zone (FTZ) in
‘‘Privileged Foreign’’ status shall retain
that status consistent with 19 CFR
146.41(e) and will be subject, at the time
of entry for consumption, to the
additional duty rate that was in effect at
the time of FTZ admission of said
product.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
will issue instructions on entry
guidance and implementation.

General Counsel, Office of the U.S. Trade
Representative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the May 9 Notice, the Trade
Representative modified the action being taken in the Section 301
investigation by increasing the rate of additional duty from 10 percent

the additional duties on products of China with an annual trade value
of approximately $200 billion, published at 83 FR 47974 (Sep. 21,

will be subject, at the time of entry for consumption, to the
