OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES
TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
Notice of Extension of Certain
Exclusions: China’s Acts, Policies, and
Practices Related to Technology
Transfer, Intellectual Property, and

Trade Representative (USTR).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In prior notices, the U.S.
Trade Representative modified the
actions in the section 301 investigation
of China’s acts, policies, and practices
related to technology transfer,
intellectual property, and innovation by
excluding from additional duties certain
products of China. The current 429
product specific exclusions (352
previously reinstated exclusions and 77
COVID-related exclusions) are
scheduled to expire on May 31, 2024.
This notice announces the U.S. Trade
Representative’s determination to
provide a 14-day transition period for
all current exclusions, extending them
through June 14, 2024, and to extend
certain exclusions through May 31,
2025.
SUMMARY:
To provide a transition period,
this notice extends all exclusions
scheduled to expire on May 31, 2024,
through June 14, 2024. Those exclusions
receiving further extension are listed in
Annex C to this notice and are extended
through May 31, 2025.

A. Background
In the course of this investigation, the
U.S. Trade Representative has imposed
additional duties on products of China
in four tranches. See 83 FR 28719 (June
20, 2018); 83 FR 40823 (August 16,
2018); 83 FR 47974 (September 21,
2018), as modified by 83 FR 49153
(September 28, 2018); and 84 FR 43304
(August 20, 2019), as modified by 84 FR
69447 (December 18, 2019) and 85 FR
3741 (January 22, 2020).
For each tranche of additional duties,
the U.S. Trade Representative
established a process by which
interested persons could request the
temporary exclusion of particular

products subject to the action. These
exclusions were granted for a limited
time and, with few exceptions, most
expired in 2019 and 2020.
exclusions through December 31, 2023.
See 88 FR 62423 (September 11, 2023).
COVID-Related Exclusions
On March 25, 2020, USTR requested
public comments on proposed
modifications to exclude from
additional duties certain medical-care
products related to the U.S. response to
COVID. See 85 FR 16987 (March 25,
2020). In light of ongoing efforts to
combat COVID, on December 29, 2020,
USTR announced 99 product exclusions
for medical-care products and products
related to the U.S. COVID response. See
85 FR 85831 (December 20, 2020)
(December 20 notice). For additional
background on previous COVID-related
extensions, see prior notices issued in
the investigation, including: 86 FR
13785 (March 10, 2021), 86 FR 63438
(November 16, 2021), 87 FR 33871 (June
3, 2022), and 87 FR 73383 (November
29, 2022). On May 17, 2023, the U.S.
Trade Representative determined to
extend 77 of the COVID-related
exclusions through September 30, 2023.
See 88 FR 31580 (May 17, 2023).
Consideration of Further Extension of
Exclusions
In light of public comments submitted
in the four-year review, on December
29, 2023, USTR invited public
comments on whether to further extend
any of the current exclusions and
announced an interim extension of the
exclusions through May 31, 2024. See
88 FR 90225 (December 29, 2023) (the
December 29 notice).
The December 29 notice provided
that, in considering possible extensions,
USTR would evaluate each exclusion on
a case-by-case basis, with the focus of
the evaluation on the availability of
products covered by the exclusion from
sources outside of China, efforts
undertaken to source products covered
by the exclusion from the United States
or third countries, and whether further
extension of a particular exclusion
would aid in shifting sourcing outside
of China. See 88 FR 90225. The notice
also provided that USTR would
consider the impact on U.S. interests of
extending or not extending an exclusion
and the goal of obtaining the
elimination of China’s acts, policies,
and practices covered in the
investigation.
USTR opened a 30-day docket on
January 22, 2024, and requested that
commenters address the availability of
products covered by the exclusion
outside of China, plans to shift their
sourcing outside of China in 2024,
efforts undertaken to source products
from the United States or third
countries, and why additional time is
needed to shift sourcing out of China
and the timeline, if any, expected for
sourcing to shift outside of China.
Four-Year Review
In accordance with section 307(c)(3)
of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C.
2417(c)(3)), on September 8, 2022,
USTR announced that it would be
conducting a review of the July 6, 2018
and August 23, 2018 actions, as
modified. See 87 FR 26797 (May 5,
2022); 87 FR 55073 (September 8, 2022).
In a notice published on October 17,
2022 (87 FR 62914), USTR announced
that it was opening a docket on
November 15, 2022, for interested
persons to submit comments on the
review, including whether certain tariff
headings (including those with productspecific exclusions) should remain
covered by the actions.
To allow for consideration under the
statutory review, on September 11,
2023, the U.S. Trade Representative
determined to extend all current
B. Determination to Further Extend
Certain Exclusions
Based on evaluation of the factors set
out in the December 29 notice, and
pursuant to sections 301(b), 301(c), and
307(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended, the U.S. Trade Representative
has determined to further modify the
action to extend the exclusions listed in
Annex C to this notice through May 31,
2025. The U.S. Trade Representative has
found that extending these exclusions
will support efforts to shift sourcing out
of China, or provide additional time
where, despite efforts to source products
from alternative sources, availability of
the product outside of China remains
limited.
The U.S. Trade Representative has
determined not to extend the remaining
exclusions beyond the 14-day transition
period. These exclusions are listed in
Reinstated Exclusions
On October 8, 2021, the U.S. Trade
Representative invited the public to
submit comments on whether to
temporarily reinstate certain exclusions
previously granted and extended. See 86
FR 56345 (October 8, 2021). On March
28, 2022, the U.S. Trade Representative
determined to temporarily reinstate 352
expired exclusions through December
31, 2022. See 87 FR 17380 (March 28,
2022) (March 28 notice). The 352
exclusions were subsequently extended
through September 30, 2023. See 87 FR
78187 (December 21, 2022).

Annex D to this notice. The list includes
102 exclusions where no public
comments requested further extension.
For the remaining exclusions, public
comments do not demonstrate that
further extending the exclusion would
aid efforts to shift sourcing out of China
in the near term or do not demonstrate
that products covered by the exclusion
are unavailable outside of China.
For example, the U.S. Trade
Representative has declined to further
extend exclusions where comments
indicated that importers had no plans to
shift sourcing out of China in 2024 (or
at all). Similarly, the U.S. Trade
Representative has declined to further
extend exclusions where, despite more
than four years of temporary exclusion,
commenters reported that they had
taken few or no steps to shift sourcing
out of China. This includes comments
that, without further explanation,
asserted that they were considering
alternative sources, or reported plans to
shift sourcing, but failed to adequately
explain efforts undertaken or why
additional time was needed.
The U.S. Trade Representative also
declined to further extend exclusions
where opposing comments indicated
availability from domestic sources or
third country sources. This includes
opposing comments from domestic
producers reporting available capacity
and opposing comments from importers
who previously benefitted from the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:03 May 29, 2024
Jkt 262001
exclusion reporting successful efforts to
shift to alternative sources. Extending
these exclusions may undercut those
efforts, including recent investments in
domestic capacity.
The U.S. Trade Representative also
declined to extend exclusions where
claims of unavailability were based on
the product being unavailable at the
price of Chinese sources. In many
instances, comments simply asserted
that products were unavailable because
China remained the lowest cost source.
Extending those exclusions would likely
delay the commenters’ efforts to find
alternative sourcing and continue their
dependence on Chinese suppliers and
products, which undermines the goal of
obtaining the elimination of China’s
acts, policies, and practices covered in
the investigation.
Similarly, many comments asserted
that a product was unavailable outside
of China due to costs associated with
finding alternative sources or based on
the limited availability of certain
product specifications or comparable
quality outside of China. Without
additional explanation of efforts
undertaken or how further extending
the exclusion would aid efforts to shift
sourcing, the U.S. Trade Representative
declined to extend these exclusions.
The U.S. Trade Representative’s
consideration to extend certain
exclusions takes into account public
comments submitted in response to the

December 29 notice, public comments
submitted in the four-year review,
confidential import data provided by
U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the
advice of advisory committees, and the
advice of the interagency section 301
Committee.
As stated above, to provide a
transition period for the expiring
exclusions, the U.S. Trade
Representative has determined to
extend all current exclusions through
June 14, 2024. See Annex A and Annex
B to this notice. The exclusions listed in
Annex C to this notice are further
extended through May 31, 2025. The
exclusions listed in Annex D are not
being extended beyond the 14-day
transition period.
The extensions announced in the
notice are available for any product that
meets the description in the product
exclusion. Further, the scope of each
exclusion and modification is governed
by the scope of the ten-digit
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings and
product descriptions in the Annexes of
this notice. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will issue instructions on
entry guidance and implementation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
Notice of Extension of Certain Exclusions: China's Acts,
Policies, and Practices Related to Technology Transfer, Intellectual
Property, and Innovation
AGENCY: Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In prior notices, the U.S. Trade Representative modified the
actions in the section 301 investigation of China's acts, policies, and
practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and
innovation by excluding from additional duties certain products of
China. The current 429 product specific exclusions (352 previously
reinstated exclusions and 77 COVID-related exclusions) are scheduled to
expire on May 31, 2024. This notice announces the U.S. Trade
Representative's determination to provide a 14-day transition period
for all current exclusions, extending them through June 14, 2024, and
to extend certain exclusions through May 31, 2025.
DATES: To provide a transition period, this notice extends all
exclusions scheduled to expire on May 31, 2024, through June 14, 2024.
Those exclusions receiving further extension are listed in Annex C to
this notice and are extended through May 31, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general questions about this
notice, contact Senior Associate General Counsel Philip Butler or
Assistant General Counsel Edward Marcus at (202) 395-5725. For specific
questions on customs classification or implementation of the product
exclusions, contact [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
In the course of this investigation, the U.S. Trade Representative
has imposed additional duties on products of China in four tranches.
See 83 FR 28719 (June 20, 2018); 83 FR 40823 (August 16, 2018); 83 FR
47974 (September 21, 2018), as modified by 83 FR 49153 (September 28,
2018); and 84 FR 43304 (August 20, 2019), as modified by 84 FR 69447
(December 18, 2019) and 85 FR 3741 (January 22, 2020).
For each tranche of additional duties, the U.S. Trade
Representative established a process by which interested persons could
request the temporary exclusion of particular products subject to the
action. These exclusions were granted for a limited time and, with few
exceptions, most expired in 2019 and 2020.
Reinstated Exclusions
On October 8, 2021, the U.S. Trade Representative invited the
public to submit comments on whether to temporarily reinstate certain
exclusions previously granted and extended. See 86 FR 56345 (October 8,
2021). On March 28, 2022, the U.S. Trade Representative determined to
temporarily reinstate 352 expired exclusions through December 31, 2022.
See 87 FR 17380 (March 28, 2022) (March 28 notice). The 352 exclusions
were subsequently extended through September 30, 2023. See 87 FR 78187
(December 21, 2022).
COVID-Related Exclusions
On March 25, 2020, USTR requested public comments on proposed
modifications to exclude from additional duties certain medical-care
products related to the U.S. response to COVID. See 85 FR 16987 (March
25, 2020). In light of ongoing efforts to combat COVID, on December 29,
2020, USTR announced 99 product exclusions for medical-care products
and products related to the U.S. COVID response. See 85 FR 85831
(December 20, 2020) (December 20 notice). For additional background on
previous COVID-related extensions, see prior notices issued in the
investigation, including: 86 FR 13785 (March 10, 2021), 86 FR 63438
(November 16, 2021), 87 FR 33871 (June 3, 2022), and 87 FR 73383
(November 29, 2022). On May 17, 2023, the U.S. Trade Representative
determined to extend 77 of the COVID-related exclusions through
September 30, 2023. See 88 FR 31580 (May 17, 2023).
Four-Year Review
In accordance with section 307(c)(3) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
U.S.C. 2417(c)(3)), on September 8, 2022, USTR announced that it would
be conducting a review of the July 6, 2018 and August 23, 2018 actions,
as modified. See 87 FR 26797 (May 5, 2022); 87 FR 55073 (September 8,
2022). In a notice published on October 17, 2022 (87 FR 62914), USTR
announced that it was opening a docket on November 15, 2022, for
interested persons to submit comments on the review, including whether
certain tariff headings (including those with product-specific
exclusions) should remain covered by the actions.
To allow for consideration under the statutory review, on September
11, 2023, the U.S. Trade Representative determined to extend all
current exclusions through December 31, 2023. See 88 FR 62423
(September 11, 2023).
Consideration of Further Extension of Exclusions
In light of public comments submitted in the four-year review, on
December 29, 2023, USTR invited public comments on whether to further
extend any of the current exclusions and announced an interim extension
of the exclusions through May 31, 2024. See 88 FR 90225 (December 29,
2023) (the December 29 notice).
The December 29 notice provided that, in considering possible
extensions, USTR would evaluate each exclusion on a case-by-case basis,
with the focus of the evaluation on the availability of products
covered by the exclusion from sources outside of China, efforts
undertaken to source products covered by the exclusion from the United
States or third countries, and whether further extension of a
particular exclusion would aid in shifting sourcing outside of China.
See 88 FR 90225. The notice also provided that USTR would consider the
impact on U.S. interests of extending or not extending an exclusion and
the goal of obtaining the elimination of China's acts, policies, and
practices covered in the investigation.
USTR opened a 30-day docket on January 22, 2024, and requested that
commenters address the availability of products covered by the
exclusion outside of China, plans to shift their sourcing outside of
China in 2024, efforts undertaken to source products from the United
States or third countries, and why additional time is needed to shift
sourcing out of China and the timeline, if any, expected for sourcing
to shift outside of China.
B. Determination to Further Extend Certain Exclusions
Based on evaluation of the factors set out in the December 29
notice, and pursuant to sections 301(b), 301(c), and 307(a) of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, the U.S. Trade Representative has
determined to further modify the action to extend the exclusions listed
in Annex C to this notice through May 31, 2025. The U.S. Trade
Representative has found that extending these exclusions will support
efforts to shift sourcing out of China, or provide additional time
where, despite efforts to source products from alternative sources,
availability of the product outside of China remains limited.
The U.S. Trade Representative has determined not to extend the
remaining exclusions beyond the 14-day transition period. These
exclusions are listed in
[[Page 46949]]
Annex D to this notice. The list includes 102 exclusions where no
public comments requested further extension. For the remaining
exclusions, public comments do not demonstrate that further extending
the exclusion would aid efforts to shift sourcing out of China in the
near term or do not demonstrate that products covered by the exclusion
are unavailable outside of China.
For example, the U.S. Trade Representative has declined to further
extend exclusions where comments indicated that importers had no plans
to shift sourcing out of China in 2024 (or at all). Similarly, the U.S.
Trade Representative has declined to further extend exclusions where,
despite more than four years of temporary exclusion, commenters
reported that they had taken few or no steps to shift sourcing out of
China. This includes comments that, without further explanation,
asserted that they were considering alternative sources, or reported
plans to shift sourcing, but failed to adequately explain efforts
undertaken or why additional time was needed.
The U.S. Trade Representative also declined to further extend
exclusions where opposing comments indicated availability from domestic
sources or third country sources. This includes opposing comments from
domestic producers reporting available capacity and opposing comments
from importers who previously benefitted from the exclusion reporting
successful efforts to shift to alternative sources. Extending these
exclusions may undercut those efforts, including recent investments in
domestic capacity.
The U.S. Trade Representative also declined to extend exclusions
where claims of unavailability were based on the product being
unavailable at the price of Chinese sources. In many instances,
comments simply asserted that products were unavailable because China
remained the lowest cost source. Extending those exclusions would
likely delay the commenters' efforts to find alternative sourcing and
continue their dependence on Chinese suppliers and products, which
undermines the goal of obtaining the elimination of China's acts,
policies, and practices covered in the investigation.
Similarly, many comments asserted that a product was unavailable
outside of China due to costs associated with finding alternative
sources or based on the limited availability of certain product
specifications or comparable quality outside of China. Without
additional explanation of efforts undertaken or how further extending
the exclusion would aid efforts to shift sourcing, the U.S. Trade
Representative declined to extend these exclusions.
The U.S. Trade Representative's consideration to extend certain
exclusions takes into account public comments submitted in response to
the December 29 notice, public comments submitted in the four-year
review, confidential import data provided by U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, the advice of advisory committees, and the advice of the
interagency section 301 Committee.
As stated above, to provide a transition period for the expiring
exclusions, the U.S. Trade Representative has determined to extend all
current exclusions through June 14, 2024. See Annex A and Annex B to
this notice. The exclusions listed in Annex C to this notice are
further extended through May 31, 2025. The exclusions listed in Annex D
are not being extended beyond the 14-day transition period.
The extensions announced in the notice are available for any
product that meets the description in the product exclusion. Further,
the scope of each exclusion and modification is governed by the scope
of the ten-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) subheadings and product descriptions in the Annexes of this
notice. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will issue instructions on
entry guidance and implementation.
Juan Millan,
Acting General Counsel, Office of the United States Trade
Representative.
