notices issued in this investigation,
including 82 FR 40213 (August 24,
2017), 83 FR 14906 (April 6, 2018), 83
FR 28710 (June 20, 2018), 83 FR 33608
(July 17, 2018), 83 FR 38760 (August 7,
2018), and 83 FR 40823 (August 16,
2018), 83 FR 47974 (September 21,
2018), 83 FR 49153 (September 28,
2018), 84 FR 20459 (May 9, 2019), 84 FR
43304 (August 20, 2019), 84 FR 45821
(August 30, 2019), and 84 FR 69447
(December 18, 2019).
On August 20, 2019, the U.S. Trade
Representative, at the direction of the
President, determined to modify the
action being taken in the investigation
by imposing an additional 10 percent ad
valorem duty on products of China with
an annual aggregate trade value of
approximately $300 billion. See 84 FR
43304 (August 20, 2019) (the August 20
notice). The tariff subheadings subject to
the 10 percent additional duties were
separated into two lists with different
effective dates. The list in Annex A had

Jkt 250001
The list in Annex C had an effective
date of December 15, 2019.
Subsequently, at the direction of the
President, the U.S. Trade Representative
determined to increase the rate of the
additional duty applicable to the tariff
subheadings covered by the action
announced in the August 20 notice from
10 percent to 15 percent. See 84 FR
45821 (August 30, 2019).
On December 18, 2019, at the
direction of the President, the U.S.
Trade Representative determined to
suspend indefinitely the imposition of
the additional 15 percent ad valorem
duty on products covered by Annex C
of the August 20 notice. See 84 FR
69447 (December 18, 2019).
B. Determination To Modify Action
The Section 301 statute, which is set
out in Sections 301 to 308 of the Trade
Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2411–2418),
includes authority for the U.S. Trade
Representative to modify the action
being taken in an investigation. In
particular, Section 307(a)(1) authorizes
the U.S. Trade Representative to modify
or terminate any action taken under
Section 301, subject to the specific
direction, if any, of the President, if the
burden or restriction on United States
commerce of the acts, policies, and
practices that are the subject of the
action has increased or decreased, or the
action being taken under Section 301(b)
and no longer is appropriate.
The United States is engaging with
China with the goal of obtaining the
elimination of the acts, policies, and
practices covered in the investigation.
On December 13, 2019, following
months of negotiations, the United
States and China reached an agreement
on a phase one trade deal that requires
structural reforms and other changes to
China’s economic and trade regime,
including with respect to certain issues
covered in this Section 301
investigation. The United States and
China signed the phase one agreement
on January 15, 2020, and the agreement
is scheduled to enter into force 30 days
thereafter on February 14, 2020.
In light of the scheduled entry into
force of the phase one agreement, and at
the direction of the President, the U.S.
Trade Representative has determined
that the action announced on August 20,
2019, as modified by the August 30
notice, no longer is appropriate.
Specifically, and in accordance with the
President’s direction, the U.S. Trade
Representative has determined to
reduce the level of additional duties
from 15 percent to 7.5 percent on
products of China covered by Annex A
of the August 20 notice, effective
February 14, 2020.

The Annex to this notice amends the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) to provide that
the additional duties for the products
covered in Annex A of the August 20
notice will be reduced to 7.5 percent.
The U.S. Trade Representative will
continue to consider the actions being
taken in this investigation. In the event
that further modifications are
appropriate, the U.S. Trade
Representative intends to take into
account the extensive comments and
testimony previously provided.

as established by the U.S. Trade
Representative in a determination

(August 30, 2019), by deleting ‘‘15%’’,
