38000 (June 24, 2020), and 85 FR 42968
(July 15, 2020).
Effective September 24, 2018, the U.S.
Trade Representative imposed
additional 10 percent ad valorem duties
on goods of China classified in 5,757
full and partial subheadings of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), with an
approximate annual trade value of $200
billion. See 83 FR 47974, as modified by
83 FR 49153. In May 2019, the U.S.
Trade Representative increased the
additional duty to 25 percent. See 84 FR
20459. On June 24, 2019, the U.S. Trade
Representative established a process by
which stakeholders could request
exclusion of particular products
classified within an eight-digit HTSUS
subheading covered by the $200 billion
action from the additional duties. See 84
FR 29576 (the June 24 notice).
Under the June 24 notice, requests for
exclusion had to identify the product
subject to the request in terms of the
physical characteristics that distinguish
the product from other products within
the relevant eight-digit HTSUS
subheading covered by the $200 billion
action. Requestors also had to provide
the ten-digit HTSUS subheading most
applicable to the particular product
requested for exclusion, and could
submit information on the ability of U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to
administer the requested exclusion.
Requestors were asked to provide the
quantity and value of the Chinese-origin
product that the requestor purchased in
the last three years. With regard to the
rationale for the requested exclusion,
requests had to address the following
factors:
• Whether the particular product is
available only from China and,
specifically, whether the particular
product and/or a comparable product is
available from sources in the United
States and/or third countries.
• Whether the imposition of
additional duties on the particular
product would cause severe economic
harm to the requestor or other U.S.
interests.
E:\FR\FM\24AUN1.SGM
24AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 164 / Monday, August 24, 2020 / Notices
• Whether the particular product is
strategically important or related to
‘‘Made in China 2025’’ or other Chinese
industrial programs.
The June 24 notice stated that the U.S.
Trade Representative would take into
account whether an exclusion would
undermine the objective of the Section
301 investigation.
The June 24 notice required
submission of requests for exclusion
from the $200 billion action no later
than September 30, 2019, and noted that
the U.S. Trade Representative
periodically would announce decisions.
In August 2019, the U.S. Trade
Representative granted an initial set of
exclusion requests. See 84 FR 38717.
The U.S. Trade Representative granted
additional exclusions in September,
October, November and December 2019,
and January, February, March, April,
May, June and July 2020. See 84 FR
49591; 84 FR 57803; 84 FR 61674; 84 FR

B. Determination To Grant Certain
Exclusions
Based on evaluation of the factors set
forth in the June 24 notice, which are
summarized above, pursuant to sections
301(b), 301(c), and 307(a) of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended, and in
accordance with the advice of the
interagency Section 301 Committee, the
U.S. Trade Representative has
determined to grant the product
exclusions in the Annex to this notice.
The U.S. Trade Representative’s
determination also takes into account
advice from advisory committees and
any public comments on the pertinent
exclusion requests. As set forth in the
Annex, the exclusions are reflected in
two specially prepared product
descriptions that respond to two
exclusion requests. In accordance with
the June 24 notice, the exclusions are
available for any products that meet the
description in the Annex, regardless of
whether the importer benefitting from
the product exclusion filed an exclusion
request. Further, the scope of an
exclusion is governed by the scope of
the product descriptions in the Annex
and not by the product description
found in any particular request for
exclusion.

38000 (June 24, 2020), and 85 FR 42968 (July 15, 2020).
Effective September 24, 2018, the U.S. Trade Representative imposed
additional 10 percent ad valorem duties on goods of China classified in
5,757 full and partial subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS), with an approximate annual trade value of
$200 billion. See 83 FR 47974, as modified by 83 FR 49153. In May 2019,
the U.S. Trade Representative increased the additional duty to 25
percent. See 84 FR 20459. On June 24, 2019, the U.S. Trade
Representative established a process by which stakeholders could
request exclusion of particular products classified within an eight-
digit HTSUS subheading covered by the $200 billion action from the
additional duties. See 84 FR 29576 (the June 24 notice).
Under the June 24 notice, requests for exclusion had to identify
the product subject to the request in terms of the physical
characteristics that distinguish the product from other products within
the relevant eight-digit HTSUS subheading covered by the $200 billion
action. Requestors also had to provide the ten-digit HTSUS subheading
most applicable to the particular product requested for exclusion, and
could submit information on the ability of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to administer the requested exclusion. Requestors were asked
to provide the quantity and value of the Chinese-origin product that
the requestor purchased in the last three years. With regard to the
rationale for the requested exclusion, requests had to address the
following factors:
Whether the particular product is available only from
China and, specifically, whether the particular product and/or a
comparable product is available from sources in the United States and/
or third countries.
Whether the imposition of additional duties on the
particular product would cause severe economic harm to the requestor or
other U.S. interests.
[[Page 52189]]
Whether the particular product is strategically important
or related to ``Made in China 2025'' or other Chinese industrial
programs.
The June 24 notice stated that the U.S. Trade Representative would
take into account whether an exclusion would undermine the objective of
the Section 301 investigation.
The June 24 notice required submission of requests for exclusion
from the $200 billion action no later than September 30, 2019, and
noted that the U.S. Trade Representative periodically would announce
decisions. In August 2019, the U.S. Trade Representative granted an
initial set of exclusion requests. See 84 FR 38717. The U.S. Trade
Representative granted additional exclusions in September, October,
November and December 2019, and January, February, March, April, May,
June and July 2020. See 84 FR 49591; 84 FR 57803; 84 FR 61674; 84 FR
65882; 84 FR 69012; 85 FR 549; 85 FR 6674; 85 FR 9921; 85 FR 15015; 85

42968. The Office of the United States Trade Representative regularly
updates the status of each pending request on the Exclusions Portal at
https://exclusions.ustr.gov/s/docket?docketNumber=USTR-2019-0005.
B. Determination To Grant Certain Exclusions
Based on evaluation of the factors set forth in the June 24 notice,
which are summarized above, pursuant to sections 301(b), 301(c), and
307(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, and in accordance with the
advice of the interagency Section 301 Committee, the U.S. Trade
Representative has determined to grant the product exclusions in the
Annex to this notice. The U.S. Trade Representative's determination
also takes into account advice from advisory committees and any public
comments on the pertinent exclusion requests. As set forth in the
Annex, the exclusions are reflected in two specially prepared product
descriptions that respond to two exclusion requests. In accordance with
the June 24 notice, the exclusions are available for any products that
meet the description in the Annex, regardless of whether the importer
benefitting from the product exclusion filed an exclusion request.
Further, the scope of an exclusion is governed by the scope of the
product descriptions in the Annex and not by the product description
found in any particular request for exclusion.
C. Technical Amendments to Exclusions
Paragraph A of the Annex contains eight technical amendments to
U.S. note 20(qq)(100), U.S. note 20(ll)(17), and U.S. notes 20(yy)(78)-
(83) to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS, as set out in the
