Dive Brief:
The Office of the United States Trade Representative has begun a review of Section 301 tariffs on China imports implemented during the first Trump administration, according to a Federal Register filing published Wednesday.
The process is the second such four-year review of two separate 25% levies installed in 2018 that cover a combined $32 billion of imports across more than 500 tariff subheadings, per the filing. The tariffs were later maintained and expanded under the Biden administration.
In the first phase of the review initiated this week, the USTR is asking domestic industries that may benefit from the levies to submit requests to continue the levies at least 60 days prior to May 7 and July 5, respectively, which mark the anniversaries of when the two tariffs were put in place.
