MIAMI – Computer power supplies, certain printed circuit assemblies and wiring harnesses were among the latest exclusions to the China tariffs announced today.
The exclusions from the additional 25% tariff on List 3 goods announced by the Office of the US Trade Representative are reflected in one 10-digit HTSUS subheading, which covers 20 separate exclusion requests and 107 specially prepared product descriptions covering 157 separate exclusion requests.
Printed circuit assemblies to be used in medical infusion pumps made the list, as did a number of medical-related end-products. Also, certain raw materials are now excluded, including bismuth.
These exclusions will be retroactive to Sept. 24, 2018, and remain in place until Aug. 7 this year. Importers should review the newly excluded products and apply for refunds of any tariffs paid on such goods since Sept. 24, 2018. Importers may use these exclusions for any product that meets the descriptions in the USTR notice, even if they did not request it.
