China Section 301 exclusion note updated to HTSUS 8479.90.9591 effective July 1, 2026; existing actions continue.

The document contains an immediately actionable HTSUS conforming amendment and a continuation of existing China Section 301 actions. The conforming amendment modifies U.S. note 20(vvv)(i)(20) to Chapter 99 of the HTSUS. It states that the relevant product exclusion applied through June 30, 2026, and that the covered goods are described in statistical reporting number 8479.90.9591 effective July 1, 2026. The amendment applies to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on July 1, 2026. The source does not identify a product name beyond the exclusion reference and does not state old or new numerical tariff rates; therefore, no rate percentage should be inferred. Importers should verify whether their Chinese-origin goods qualify for the exclusion, use the explicitly stated statistical reporting number 8479.90.9591 where applicable, and ensure broker and customs-entry systems reflect the amended Chapter 99 note. The separate USTR continuation notice confirms that the July 6, 2018 and August 23, 2018 China Section 301 actions, as modified, did not terminate on July 6, 2026, or August 23, 2026. Those actions remain in effect subject to possible future modifications following USTR’s statutory four-year review. No new importer comment deadline or additional compliance filing deadline is announced.
