A dated brief synthesizing the most recent Federal Register and CBP actions on Section 301 (China tariffs, IEEPA-related notices, exclusions) and Section 232 (steel, aluminum, derivative articles). Each entry links to its verbatim primary-source FR publication.
The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is seeking public comments to assist in the preparation of its annual report to Congress on China's compliance with its obligations as a Member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). This notice includes the schedule for the submission of comments for the China report and a public hearing.
