The tariff items below only relate to trade with China. Hong Kong and Taiwan are excluded. The section 301 tariff are being imposed in stages. Take note that tariff increases are based on the date of arrival at the first port of discharge.

List 4 – On September 17, 2018 the administration announced that if China “takes retaliatory action against our farmers or other industries” they will initiate a process aimed at increasing tariffs on an additional $267 billion worth of goods from China. Specific tariff lines are not currently available for these goods. We anticipate that List 4 will be implemented in mid to late winter 2019.
