Innovation 

AGENCY: Office of the United States

stakeholders may request that particular 

products classified within a covered 

tariff subheading in Annex A be 

excluded from these additional duties.

Annex A to this notice are effective with 

respect to products that are entered for 

consumption, or withdrawn from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Proceedings in the Investigation 

On August 18, 2017, the Office of the 

U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) 

initiated an investigation into certain 

acts, policies, and practices of the 

Government of China related to 

technology transfer, intellectual 

property, and innovation (82 FR 40213). 

In a notice published on April 6, 2018 

(83 FR 14906), the Trade Representative 

announced a determination that the 

acts, policies, and practices of the 

Government of China covered in the 

investigation are unreasonable or 

discriminatory and burden or restrict 

U.S. commerce. The April 6 notice also 

invited public comment on a proposed 

action in the investigation, in the form 

of an additional 25 percent ad valorem 

duty on products from China classified 

in a list of 1,333 tariff subheadings, with 

an annual trade value of approximately 

$50 billion. As explained in that notice, 

the level was appropriate both in light 

of the estimated harm to the U.S. 

economy, and to obtain elimination of 

China’s harmful acts, policies, and 

practices. 

The public comment process included 

two opportunities for the submission of 

written comments, and the opportunity 

to participate in a public hearing. USTR 

received thousands of submissions, and 

held a 3-day public hearing with more 

than 100 witnesses. The public versions 

of submissions and a transcript of the 

hearing are available on 

www.regulations.gov in docket number 

USTR–2018–0005. 

USTR and the interagency Section 

301 Committee carefully reviewed the 

public comments and the testimony 

from the public hearing. USTR and the 

Section 301 Committee also carefully 

reviewed the extent to which the tariff 

subheadings in the April 6 notice 

include products containing industrially 

significant technology, including 

technologies and products related to 

China’s ‘‘Made in China 2025’’ 

industrial policy program. 

Based on this review process, the 

Trade Representative determined to take 

an initial action in the investigation, 

and to consider an additional proposed 

action. The Trade Representative 

announced the determination on June 

15, 2018, and published a notice on 

June 20, 2018 (83 FR 28710). The Trade 

Representative narrowed the proposed 

list in the April 6 notice to 818 tariff 

subheadings, with an approximate 

annual trade value of $34 billion. This 

initial action became effective on July 6, 

2018. The additional proposed action 

was an additional ad valorem duty of 25 

percent on products of China classified 

in 284 tariff subheadings, with an 

annual trade value of approximately $16 

billion, as set forth in Annex C to the 

June 20 notice. The June 20 notice 

further explained that including these 

tariff subheadings in the Section 301 

action would maintain the effectiveness 

of a $50 billion trade action. 

The June 20 notice invited public 

comment on the additional proposed 

action. USTR requested that 

commenters address specifically 

whether imposing increased duties on a 

particular listed subheading would be 

practicable or effective to obtain the 

elimination of China’s acts, policies, 

and practices, and whether maintaining 

or imposing additional duties on a 

particular listed product would cause 

disproportionate economic harm to U.S. 

interests, including small or mediumsized businesses and consumers. 

In response to the notice of additional 

proposed action, interested persons 

filed over 700 written submissions. 

USTR and the Section 301 Committee 

held a 2-day public hearing on July 24– 

25, 2018. During the hearing, 82 

witnesses provided testimony and 

responded to questions. Interested 

parties also had the opportunity to 

provide rebuttal submissions. The 

public submissions and a transcript of 

the hearing are available on 

www.regulations.gov in docket number 

USTR–2018–0018. 

B. Determination on Appropriate 

Action 

USTR and the Section 301 Committee 

have carefully reviewed the public 

comments and the testimony from the 

two-day public hearing. In addition, 

USTR and the interagency Section 301 

Committee have carefully reviewed the 

extent to which the tariff subheadings in 

Annex C to the June 20 notice include 

products containing industrially 

significant technology, including 

technologies and products related to the 

‘‘Made in China 2025’’ program. Based 

on this review process, the Trade 

Representative has determined to 

narrow the proposed tariff subheadings 

in Annex C to the June 20 notice to 279 

tariff subheadings. The annual trade 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
40824 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 159 / Thursday, August 16, 2018 / Notices 

value of the final list remains 

approximately $16 billion. 

Pursuant to sections 301(b), 301(c), 

and 304(a) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 

U.S.C. 2411(b), 2411(c), and 2414(a)), 

the Trade Representative determines 

that appropriate and feasible action in 

this investigation includes the 

imposition of an additional ad valorem 

duty of 25 percent on products of China 

covered in the tariff subheadings listed 

in Annex A to this notice. Annex B to 

this notice contains the same list of 

tariff subheadings, with unofficial 

descriptions of the types of products 

covered in each subheading. 

In order to implement this 

determination, effective August 23, 

2018, subchapter III of chapter 99 of the 

HTSUS is modified by Annex A of this 

notice. Products of China that are 

provided for in new HTSUS heading 

9903.88.02, as established by Annex A 

of this notice that are entered for 

consumption, or withdrawn from 

warehouse for consumption, on or after 

12:01 a.m. Eastern daylight time on 

August 23, 2018, will be subject to an 

additional ad valorem duty of 25 

percent. The rates of duty applicable to 

products of China that are provided for 

in new HTSUS heading 9903.88.02 

apply in addition to all other applicable 

duties, fees, exactions, and charges. 

The HTSUS note in Annex A, as 

compared to the HTSUS note in Annex 

A to the June 20 notice, includes 

clarifications on the application of the 

additional duties to goods entered under 

certain provisions of Chapter 98 and 99 

of the HTSUS. Annex C to this notice 

modifies the HTSUS note in Annex A to 

the June 20 notice in order to reflect 

these clarifications. In addition, Annex 

C makes a conforming amendment to 

the HTSUS heading in Annex A to the 

June 20 notice, and makes a technical 

correction to the HTSUS note in Annex 

A to the June 20 notice. 

Any product listed in Annex A to this 

notice, except any product that is 

eligible for admission under ‘domestic 

status’ as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, 

which is subject to the additional duty 

imposed by this determination, and is 

admitted into a U.S. foreign trade zone 

on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern daylight 

time on August 23, 2018, only may be 

admitted as ‘privileged foreign status’ as 

defined in 19 CFR 146.41. Such 

products will be subject upon entry for 

consumption to any ad valorem rates of 

duty or quantitative limitations related 

to the classification under the 

applicable HTSUS subheading. 

During the notice and comment 

process, a number of interested persons 

asserted that specific products within a 

particular tariff subheading only were 

available from China, that imposition of 

additional duties on the specific 

products would cause severe economic 

harm to a U.S. interest, and that the 

specific products were not strategically 

important or related to the ‘‘Made in 

China 2025’’ program. In light of such 

concerns, and pursuant to sections 

301(b), 301(c), 304(a), and 307(a) of the 

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2411(b), 

2411(c), 2414(a), and 2417(a)), the Trade 

Representative has determined that 

USTR will establish a process by which 

U.S. stakeholders may request that 

particular products classified within an 

HTSUS subheading listed in Annex A 

be excluded from these additional 

duties. The process will be comparable 

to the exclusion process established in 

connection with the initial, $34 billion 

trade action. USTR will publish a 

separate notice describing the product 

exclusion process, including the 

procedures for submitting exclusion 

requests, and an opportunity for 

interested persons to submit oppositions 

to a request.

United States Trade Representative.
