76582 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2024 / Notices 

A. Background 

On August 24, 2017, the U.S. Trade 

Representative initiated an investigation 

into certain acts, policies, and practices 

of the Government of China related to 

technology transfer, intellectual 

property, and innovation under section 

301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 

amended (Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2411). 

See 82 FR 40213. In a notice published 

on April 6, 2018, the U.S. Trade 

Representative determined that acts, 

policies, and practices of the 

Government of China related to 

technology transfer, intellectual 

property, and innovation were 

unreasonable or discriminatory, and 

burdened or restricted U.S. commerce, 

and thus were actionable under section 

301(b) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 

2411(b)). See 83 FR 14906. 

Following a notice and comment 

process on the proposed action to be 

taken in the investigation, the U.S. 

Trade Representative took two actions 

under section 301 of the Trade Act: the 

July 6, 2018, action, covering an 

approximate annual trade value of $34 

billion (List 1), and the August 23, 2018, 

action, covering an approximate annual 

trade value of $16 billion (List 2). See 

83 FR 28710 (July 6, 2018, action) and 

83 FR 40823 (August 23, 2018, action). 

These actions subsequently were 

modified by imposing additional duties 

on supplemental lists of products, 

known as Lists 3 and 4, as well as by 

the temporary removal of duties on 

certain products through product 

exclusions. 

On May 5, 2022, USTR announced 

that under section 307(c)(2) of the Trade 

Act (19 U.S.C. 2417(c)(2)), the July 6, 

2018, and August 23, 2018, actions, as 

modified, were subject to possible 

termination on their respective four-year 

anniversary dates (i.e., July 6, 2022, and 

August 23, 2022) and of the opportunity 

for representatives of domestic 

industries that benefit from the trade 

actions to request continuation of the 

actions during the last 60 days of such 

four-year periods. See 87 FR 26797. 

On September 8, 2022, USTR 

announced that the July 6, 2018 and the 

August 23, 2018 actions, as modified, 

would remain in effect because at least 

one representative of a domestic 

industry that benefits from each action 

submitted to the U.S. Trade 

Representative a request for 

continuation of the actions. See 87 FR 

55073. The notice also announced that 

in accordance with section 307(c)(3) of 

the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2417(c)(3)), the 

U.S. Trade Representative would 

conduct a review of the July 6, 2018 and 

the August 23, 2018 actions, as 

modified. See 87 FR 55073. 

To aid in this review, on November 

15, 2022, USTR opened a docket for 

interested persons to submit comments 

with respect to a number of 

considerations concerning the review. 

See 87 FR 62914. USTR received 

approximately 1,500 comments. 

Based on information obtained during 

the review, including the public 

comments, USTR, in consultation with 

the Section 301 Committee, prepared a 

comprehensive report that included 

findings on the effectiveness of the July 

6, 2018 and the August 23, 2018 actions, 

as modified, in achieving the objectives 

of the investigation, other actions that 

could be taken, and the effects of such 

actions on the United States economy, 

including consumers. The report, FourYear Review of Actions Taken in the 

Section 301 Investigation: China’s Acts, 

Policies, and Practices Related to 

Technology Transfer, Intellectual 

Property, and Innovation (Report), was 

published on May 14, 2024, and is 

available on the USTR website. 

As detailed in the Report, the U.S. 

Trade Representative found that: 

D The section 301 actions have been 

effective in encouraging China to take 

steps toward eliminating some of its 

technology transfer-related acts, 

policies, and practices, and have 

reduced some of the exposure of U.S. 

persons and businesses to these 

technology transfer-related acts, 

policies, and practices. 

D China has not eliminated many of 

its technology transfer-related acts, 

policies, and practices, which continue 

to impose a burden or restriction on 

U.S. commerce. Instead of pursuing 

fundamental reform, China has 

persisted, and even become more 

aggressive, particularly through cyber 

intrusions and cybertheft, in its attempts 

to acquire and absorb foreign 

technology, which further burden or 

restrict U.S. commerce. 

D Economic analyses generally find 

that the duties have had small negative 

effects on U.S. aggregate economic 

welfare, positive impacts on U.S. 

production in the ten sectors most 

directly affected by the duties, and 

minimal impacts on economy-wide 

prices and employment. 

D Economic analyses, including the 

principal U.S. Government analysis 

published by the U.S. International 

Trade Commission, generally find that 

the section 301 tariffs have contributed 

to reducing U.S. imports of goods from 

China and increasing imports from 

alternate sources, including U.S. allies 

and partners, thereby potentially 

supporting U.S. supply chain 

diversification and resilience. 

Based on the Report findings, the U.S. 

Trade Representative recommended to 

the President to maintain the section 

301 tariffs on the covered products. To 

further encourage China to eliminate the 

investigated acts, policies, and 

practices, the U.S. Trade Representative 

also recommended enhancing the 

effectiveness of the tariff actions by 

adding or increasing section 301 tariffs 

on certain products in strategic sectors, 

including sectors targeted by China for 

dominance, or sectors where the United 

States recently made significant 

domestic investments. The U.S. Trade 

Representative found that ‘‘increasing or 

adding section 301 tariffs on products 

targeted by China for dominance will 

help encourage the elimination of 

investigated technology transfer-related 

acts, policies, and practices by 

encouraging alternative sourcing in 

strategic sectors of the economy, 

reducing U.S. reliance on China, while 

also reducing exposure to China’s 

technology transfer-related acts, 

policies, and practices, and helping to 

maintain resilient, diverse, and secure 

supply chains.’’ 

On May 14, 2024, taking into 

consideration the U.S. Trade 

Representative’s findings in the Report 

and recommendations, the President 

issued a Memorandum (President’s 

Memorandum) that directed the U.S. 

Trade Representative to: ‘‘maintain, as 

appropriate and consistent with this 

memorandum, the ad valorem rates of 

duty and lists of products subject to the 

[actions] taken under the section 301 

investigation’’ and ‘‘[t]o further 

encourage China to eliminate the acts, 

policies, and practices at issue, and to 

counteract the burden or restriction of 

these acts, policies, and practices, the 

Trade Representative shall modify the 

[actions taken in the investigation] to 

increase section 301 ad valorem rates of 

duty’’ for certain specified products of 

China. See https://www.whitehouse.gov/ 

briefing-room/presidential-actions/ 

2024/05/14/memorandum-on-actionsby-the-united-states-related-to-thestatutory-4-year-review-of-the-section301-investigation-of-chinas-actspolicies-and-practices-related-totechnology-transfer-intellectua/. In 

particular, the President’s Memorandum 

specified categories of products for 

proposed tariff increases, tariff rates for 

those products, and year for tariff 

increases. With respect to tariff 

increases, the President directed 

increases on the following products:

in 2024 

• Steel and aluminum products— 

Increase rate to 25% in 2024 

• Syringes and needles—Increase rate to 

no less than 50% in 2024 

The President also directed the U.S. 

Trade Representative to establish a 

process by which interested persons 

may request that particular machinery 

used in domestic manufacturing 

classified within a subheading under 

Chapters 84 and 85 of the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) be temporarily excluded from 

section 301 tariffs, and directed the U.S. 

Trade Representative to prioritize, in 

particular, exclusions for certain solar 

manufacturing equipment. 

Additionally, the White House 

released a statement further explaining 

how China’s acts, policies, and practices 

have contributed to China’s significant 

control of global production for the 

critical inputs necessary for U.S. 

technologies, infrastructure, energy, and 

healthcare and China’s growing 

overcapacity and export surges, and 

how such control threatens U.S. supply 

chains and economic security. See 

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefingroom/statements-releases/2024/05/14/ 

fact-sheet-president-biden-takes-actionto-protect-american-workers-andbusinesses-from-chinas-unfair-tradepractices/. 

B. Proposed Modification to the Actions 

Consistent with the President’s 

direction, USTR issued a Federal 

Register notice with proposed 

modifications. See 89 FR 46252 (May 

28, 2024) (May 28 notice). In the May 

28 notice, the U.S. Trade Representative 

proposed increasing section 301 duties 

on 382 HTSUS subheadings and 5 

statistical reporting numbers of the 

HTSUS, with an approximate annual 

trade value of $18 billion (2023). 

Additionally, the U.S. Trade 

Representative proposed subheadings 

eligible for consideration for temporary 

exclusion under a process by which 

interested persons may request that 

particular machinery used in domestic 

manufacturing and classified within 

certain subheadings under Chapters 84 

and 85 of HTSUS be temporarily 

excluded. Finally, the U.S. Trade 

Representative proposed 19 temporary 

exclusions for solar manufacturing 

equipment. In accordance with section 

307(a)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 

2417(a)(2)), USTR invited comments 

from interested persons with respect to 

the proposed modifications, the scope of 

the machinery exclusion process, and 

the temporary exclusions for solar 

manufacturing equipment. USTR 

opened a 30-day docket on May 29, 

2024. 

With respect to the proposed tariff 

increases, USTR requested commenters 

to address the effectiveness of the 

proposed modification, the effects of the 

proposed modification on the U.S. 

economy, including consumers, and 

whether the tariff subheadings or 

statistical reporting numbers identified 

for each product or sector adequately 

cover the products and sectors included 

in the President’s direction to the U.S. 

Trade Representative. In addition, for 

facemasks, needles and syringes, and 

medical gloves, consistent with the 

President’s direction to increase tariffs 

no less than specified rates, USTR 

requested comment on whether the rates 

of additional duty should be higher than 

the proposed rates, and with respect to 

facemasks, whether additional statistical 

reporting numbers under HTSUS 

subheading 6307.90.98 should be 

included. 

With respect to the machinery 

exclusion process, USTR requested 

comments on whether the subheadings 

proposed should or should not be 

eligible for consideration in the 

machinery exclusion process and 

whether certain subheadings under 

Chapters 84 and 85 that cover 

machinery used in domestic 

manufacturing were omitted and should 

be included. Finally, with respect to the 

19 proposed solar manufacturing 

machinery exclusions, USTR requested 

comments on the scope of each 

exclusion, including suggested 

amendments to the product description. 

In response to the May 28 notice, 

USTR received more than 1,100 

comments. Of the comments received, 

approximately 420 comments expressed 

views about the proposed tariff 

increases on certain products, 

approximately 656 comments expressed 

views about the proposed subheadings 

eligible for consideration of temporary 

exclusions under an exclusion process 

for machinery used in domestic 

manufacturing, and approximately 80 

comments expressed views about the 

proposed 19 temporary exclusions for 

solar manufacturing equipment. The 

public submissions are available at 

https://comments.ustr.gov, docket 

number USTR–2024–0007. 

C. Determination To Modify the Actions 

Pursuant to sections 307(c) and 

307(a)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 

2417(c), (a)(1)), the U.S. Trade 

Representative may modify or terminate 

any action, subject to the specific 

direction, if any, of the President with 

respect to such action, that is being 

taken under section 301 if the burden or 

restriction on U.S. commerce of the acts, 

policies, and practices that are the 

subject of such action has increased or 

decreased, or such action is being taken 

under section 301(b) and no longer is 

appropriate. 

As detailed in USTR’s Report, 

modification of the action is warranted 

under section 307(a)(1)(B) as many of 

the technology transfer-related acts, 

policies, and practices described in the 

original section 301 Report persist and 

increasingly burden or restrict U.S. 

commerce. Rather than eliminate the 

technology transfer-related acts, 

policies, and practices that are the 

subject of the section 301 investigation, 

the Report reviews how China has 

become more aggressive, particularly 

through cybertheft and cyber intrusions, 

in its attempts to acquire and absorb 

foreign technology and IP on a 

nonconsensual basis from U.S. 

companies, costing U.S. companies and 

consumers billions of dollars, and 

adding to the burden or restriction on 

U.S. commerce. 

Modification of the actions also is 

appropriate under section 307(a)(1)(C). 

The term ‘‘appropriate’’’ as used in 

subsection C refers to section 301(b), 

which requires the U.S, Trade 

Representative to ‘‘take all appropriate 

and feasible action authorized under 

[section 301(c)] to obtain the 

elimination of [the] act, policy, or 

practice.’’ The specific action that will 

obtain the elimination of an act, policy, 

or practice is a matter of predictive 

judgment, to be exercised by the U.S. 

Trade Representative, subject to any 

specific direction of the President. 

China’s actions over the review period, 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
76584 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2024 / Notices 

as discussed in USTR’s Report has 

shown that maintaining the current 

action is no longer appropriate in order 

to induce China to eliminate its acts, 

policies, or practices. 

Modification of the actions is further 

warranted considering the findings in 

USTR’s Report on the effectiveness of 

the prior actions in achieving the 

objectives of the investigation other 

actions that could be taken, and the 

effects of such actions on the U.S. 

economy, including consumers. 

The President has exercised his 

authority under section 307 to direct the 

U.S. Trade Representative to modify the 

actions being taken in the investigation. 

Specifically, as discussed above, the 

President directed the U.S. Trade 

Representative to increase the rates of 

duty for specified goods, with specified 

rates and timing. Additionally, the 

President directed the U.S. Trade 

Representative to establish an exclusion 

process for machinery used in domestic 

manufacturing classified within a 

subheading under Chapters 84 and 85 of 

the HTSUS and to prioritize, in 

particular, exclusions for certain solar 

manufacturing equipment. 

The modifications to the actions are 

set out in the Annexes to this notice. 

The U.S. Trade Representative’s 

determination takes account of the 

public comments, the President’s 

direction of May 14, 2024, the policy 

rationale underlying the President’s 

direction, as well as the advice of the 

interagency section 301 committee and 

appropriate advisory committees. 

Section 301(c)(3)(B) of the Trade Act 

(19 U.S.C. 2411(c)(3)(B)) authorizes the 

U.S. Trade Representative to take action 

against any goods or economic sector of 

the foreign country concerned 

regardless of whether or not such goods 

or economic sector are involved in the 

act, policy, or practice subject to 

investigation. The modifications include 

increasing section 301 duties on 382 

HTSUS subheadings and 7 statistical 

reporting numbers of the HTSUS under 

14 product groups. Additionally, the 

U.S. Trade Representative is modifying 

the actions to temporarily exclude from 

additional duties certain solar 

manufacturing equipment under 14 

product specific exclusions. 

As outlined below, in consideration of 

public comments and the advice of the 

section 301 committee, the U.S. Trade 

Representative has made certain 

adjustments to the modifications 

proposed in May 28 notice. The 

adjustments and the reasons for them 

are discussed below in USTR’s response 

to significant comments. 

Annex A contains an informal table of 

the tariff increases under the 14 product 

groups specified by the President and 

the 382 subheadings and 7 statistical 

reporting numbers, the tariff rates, and 

years for tariff increases. Annex B 

contains the 14 temporary exclusions 

for solar manufacturing equipment. 

Annex C contains the HTSUS 

modifications to impose additional 

duties, to increase rates of additional 

duties, and to exclude certain solar 

manufacturing equipment from 

additional duties. Annex D contains the 

Importer Certification for ship-to-shore 

cranes entering under the exclusion. 

Annex E contains a list of HTSUS 

subheadings eligible for consideration of 

temporary exclusion under the 

machinery exclusion process. 

Any product listed in the Annexes to 

this notice, which is subject to the 

additional duties imposed by this 

determination, and that is admitted into 

a U.S. foreign trade zone, except any 

product that is eligible for admission 

under ‘‘domestic status’’ as defined in 

19 CFR 146.43, only may be admitted as 

‘‘privileged foreign status,’’ as defined 

in 19 CFR 146.41, effective as of the date 

that the additional duties are imposed. 

Products of China that are provided for 

in headings 9903.91.01, 9903.91.02, and 

9903.91.03, and listed in subdivisions 

(b), (c) and (d), respectively, of U.S. note 

31 to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the 

HTSUS, as well as products of China 

that are provided for in HTSUS 

subheading 9903.92.10, which are 

admitted into a U.S. foreign trade zone 

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

time on September 27, 2024, only may 

be admitted as ‘‘privileged foreign 

status.’’ Products of China that are 

provided for in headings 9903.91.04 and 

9903.91.05, and listed in subdivisions 

(e) and (f) of U.S. note 31 to subchapter 

III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS that are 

admitted into a U.S. foreign trade zone 

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

time on January 1, 2025, only may be 

admitted as ‘‘privileged foreign status.’’ 

Products of China that are provided for 

in headings 9903.91.06, 9903.91.07, and 

9903.91.08, and listed in subdivisions

31 to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the 

HTSUS that are admitted into a U.S. 

foreign trade zone on or after 12:01 a.m. 

eastern daylight time on January 1, 

2026, only may be admitted as 

‘‘privileged foreign status.’’ All 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. 

D. USTR’s Responses to Significant 

Comments 

As discussed above, in light of 

findings in USTR’s Report, the U.S. 

Trade Representative recommended to 

the President that duties be added or 

increased on certain products in 

strategic sectors. The U.S. Trade 

Representative limited 

recommendations to the President to 

categories of products targeted by China 

for dominance and/or sectors where the 

U.S. recently made significant domestic 

investments, thus incentivizing China to 

eliminate the investigated acts, policies, 

and practices, and mitigating possible 

harm to the U.S. economy. The 

President agreed with the U.S. Trade 

Representative’s recommendation and 

has exercised his authority to direct 

specific modifications to the actions 

being taken in the investigation. 

Response to Significant Comments on 

Proposed Tariff Increases 

Battery Parts (Non-Lithium-ion 

Batteries): The President directed the 

U.S. Trade Representative to increase 

tariffs on battery parts for non-lithiumion batteries to 25 percent in 2024. In 

response to the President’s direction, 

the U.S. Trade Representative proposed 

increasing tariffs on one HTSUS 

subheading: 8507.90.40 (Parts of leadacid storage batteries, including 

separators therefor). 

The single comment on the proposed 

modification notes that broad tariffs 

have not significantly altered China’s 

acts, policies, and practices and suggests 

that new U.S. initiatives, such as the 

Inflation Reduction Act would be more 

effective. Additionally, the comment 

notes that the proposed modifications 

will slow U.S. efforts to boost domestic 

production and adoption of electric 

vehicles. 

For the final determination, the U.S. 

Trade Representative has determined 

not to amend the proposed 

modification. As noted in USTR’s 

Report, the proposed modifications 

complement the significant investments 

as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act 

and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law 

into clean energy technology, clean 

energy supply chains, and clean energy 

manufacturing. Increasing section 301 

duties on tariff lines covering certain 

sectors will help support these 

investments, encourage diversification 

away from Chinese sources, and provide 

additional leverage with China to 

eliminate the investigated acts, policies, 

and practices. 

Electric Vehicles: The President 

directed the U.S. Trade Representative 

to increase additional duties on electric 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2024 / Notices 76585 

vehicles to 100 percent in 2024. In 

response to the President’s direction, 

the U.S. Trade Representative proposed 

increasing duties on eight HTSUS 

subheadings. 

Some comments request that USTR 

narrow the scope of products covered by 

the eight subheadings by distinguishing 

between low-speed vehicles, such as 

passenger shuttles and mobility 

scooters, and higher speed passenger 

vehicles that operate on public roads 

and highways. While the comments 

urge the U.S. Trade Representative to 

distinguish between vehicles based on 

maximum speed or road readiness, the 

U.S. Trade Representative’s proposal, 

consistent with Presidential direction, 

was intended to cover a wide range of 

electric motor vehicles that incorporate 

high-tech motors and batteries. The 

products included under the proposed 

subheadings meet the objective to target 

sophisticated technologies where China 

seeks dominance and where the 

individual products are part of the same 

continuum of products. 

One comment requests that electric 

buses that fulfill contracts executed 

prior to the proposed modification be 

excluded from the additional duties. 

Unlike with ship-to-shore cranes 

(discussed below), where multiple 

comments allege broad economic 

consequences, the single comment, 

when considering China’s industrial 

policies targeting electric vehicles could 

threaten federal investment in the 

sector, does not demonstrate broad 

economic consequences such that an 

exclusion is warranted. 

Comments also request that USTR 

broaden the scope of products covered. 

One comment remarks that the 

proposed modifications do not 

adequately cover the full scope of 

products included in the President’s 

direction because the proposal does not 

include motorcycles (including mopeds) 

and electric bicycles under HTSUS 

subheading 8711.60.00. Another 

comment asserts that the proposed 

modification should be expanded to 

include HTSUS subheading 8703.10.50 

(golf carts and similar vehicles). 

With respect to motorcycles and 

electric bicycles, in reviewing the 

President’s direction, the U.S. Trade 

Representative has determined that 

electric bicycles and motorcycles are 

distinct from what is traditionally 

understood as ‘‘electric vehicles’’ and 

fall outside the specific direction of the 

President. Similarly, electric golf carts 

and similar vehicles may be understood 

to fall outside the specific direction of 

the President. While these subheadings 

may include products with some 

overlapping technology to the 

subheadings covered, limiting the 

modification to the primary subheading 

covering traditional electric vehicles is 

most consistent with the President’s 

direction. 

As a result of China’s efforts to 

dominate the electric vehicles market, 

China now produces 70 percent of the 

world’s electric cars—jeopardizing 

productive investments elsewhere. The 

U.S. Trade Representative has 

determined that modification to 

increase the duties on electric vehicles 

will encourage diversification from 

Chinese sources, while also advancing 

U.S. policy to incentivize the 

development of, and investments in, a 

robust electric vehicle market, reducing 

exposure to China’s technology transferrelated acts, policies, and practices, and 

providing additional leverage with 

China to eliminate the investigated acts, 

policies, and practices. 

Facemasks: The President directed 

the U.S. Trade Representative to 

increase tariffs on facemasks to no less 

than 25 percent in 2024. In response, 

the U.S. Trade Representative proposed 

three statistical reporting numbers. 

These included 6307.90.9845 (N95 

Respirators of textiles); 6307.90.9850 

(respirators of textiles, other than N95); 

and 6307.90.9875 (face masks of 

textiles, other than disposable). USTR 

requested commenters to address 

whether additional statistical reporting 

codes under HTSUS subheading 

6307.90.98 should be included and 

whether the tariff rates should be higher 

than the proposed 25 percent rate. 

Several commenters note that as of 

January 1, 2023, statistical reporting 

number 6307.90.9845 (N95 Respirators 

of Textiles) was replaced with two 

statistical reporting numbers. For the 

final modifications, USTR has replaced 

statistical reporting number 

6307.90.9845 (N95 Respirators of 

Textiles) with statistical reporting 

numbers 6307.90.9842 (surgical N95 

respirators) and 6307.90.9844 (other 

N95 respirators). This adjustment does 

not change the scope of the products 

covered. 

Other comments express concerns 

about the availability of facemasks 

outside of China and possible 

disruption to the supply of facemasks 

and higher costs for healthcare 

providers. As USTR found in the 

Report, increasing section 301 duties on 

certain personal protective equipment 

will help protect recent investments in 

increasing domestic production and in 

U.S. preparedness. As a result of those 

investments, the United States has, or is 

expected to have, sufficient domestic 

capacity. Several commenters agreed 

with this finding. Additionally, 

increasing tariffs on facemasks will 

encourage diversification away from 

China, improve supply chain resiliency, 

and create greater leverage with China 

to eliminate the investigated acts, 

policies, and practices. 

A number of comments suggest 

adding statistical reporting number 

6307.90.9870 (face masks of textile, 

disposable). Additional comments 

suggest adding textile subheadings that 

cover personal protective equipment, 

but not facemasks. Regarding the 

proposed tariff rate, several comments 

suggest rates higher than the proposed 

tariff rate, including 50 percent, 100 

percent, and ‘‘the highest rate possible.’’ 

A few comments suggest that any rate 

increase be gradual due to possible 

limitations on availability outside of 

China. 

Considering the public comments, the 

advice of the Section 301 Committee, 

and consistent with the President’s 

direction, the U.S. Trade Representative 

has determined to add statistical 

reporting number 6307.90.9870 (face 

masks of textile, disposable), but not to 

add additional textile subheadings that 

do not cover facemasks. Additionally, 

for most statistical reporting numbers, 

the U.S. Trade Representative has 

determined to increase tariff rates to 25 

percent in 2024 and to further increase 

rates in 2026 to 50 percent. Delaying the 

increase to 50 percent in 2026 is 

consistent with the President’s 

direction, but balances requests for a 

rate higher than 25 percent with the 

public comments requesting that rates 

increase gradually. For statistical 

reporting number 6307.90.9870 (face 

masks of textile, disposable), the U.S. 

Trade Representative has determined to 

increase the tariff rate to 25 percent in 

2025 and to further increase the rate in 

2026 to 50 percent. 

Lithium-ion Batteries: The President 

directed the U.S. Trade Representative 

to increase tariffs on lithium-ion 

batteries to 25 percent, with ‘‘lithiumion electrical vehicle batteries’’ 

increasing in 2024 and ‘‘lithium-ion 

non-electrical vehicle batteries’’ 

increasing in 2026. In response, the U.S. 

Trade Representative proposed 

increasing tariffs on two statistical 

reporting numbers. One covers lithiumion batteries for passenger vehicles 

(8507.60.0010), and a second covers 

lithium-ion batteries for a broad range of 

applications, including electric vehicles, 

other than passenger vehicles 

(8507.60.0020). The U.S. Trade 

Representative proposed increasing 

tariffs on 8507.60.0010 (Lithium-ion 

batteries of a kind used as the primary 

source of electrical power for 

electrically powered vehicles of 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
76586 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2024 / Notices 

subheadings 8703.40, 8703.50, 8703.60, 

8703.70 or 8703.80) in 2024 and on 

8507.60.0020 (Lithium-ion batteries: 

Other) in 2026. 

Several commenters request that 

additional codes be added, including for 

a subheading covering certain inputs or 

precursor materials used to manufacture 

lithium-ion batteries. Additionally, 

USTR received comments requesting 

that certain lithium-ion batteries 

covered by the proposed subheadings, 

but intended for a particular use, be 

excluded. 

The U.S. Trade Representative has 

determined that the requests to remove 

particular batteries are inconsistent with 

the President’s direction, which broadly 

covers all lithium-ion batteries, and are 

inconsistent with the goals of 

diversifying supply chains and of 

reducing our reliance on China in an 

industry targeted by China for 

dominance. With respect to the inputs 

and precursor materials used in the 

production of lithium-ion batteries, 

these products are beyond the scope of 

the President’s direction, which is 

limited to complete batteries. 

Medical Gloves: The President 

directed the U.S. Trade Representative 

to increase tariffs on medical gloves to 

no less than 25 percent in 2026. In 

response, the U.S. Trade Representative 

proposed increasing tariffs to 25 percent 

in 2026 on one statistical reporting 

number. 

Comments opposing the proposed 

modification allege that increasing 

duties on medical gloves will raise 

medical care costs and impact patient 

care. Additional comments request that 

the increase in tariffs be delayed. 

Comments generally assert that the 

production of medical gloves is 

centralized in China and Malaysia, and 

that additional duties would push 

production to Malaysia, rather than to 

the United States. They also assert there 

is no large-scale domestic production 

capacity for nitrile gloves, specifically 

citing a January 2024 Made in America 

Act Waiver statement by Federal 

agencies concerning domestic 

availability of nitrile gloves. 

In general, comments supporting the 

proposed modification suggest that, 

given the artificially low prices of 

imports from China, the modification 

would be more effective if tariffs rates 

were increased to 100 percent or higher, 

increased prior to 2026, and possibly 

increased gradually. One comment also 

suggested including gloves falling under 

HTSUS 4015.19 that are not for medical 

or surgical use. 

Considering the public comments, the 

specific direction of the President to 

increase tariffs on medical gloves no 

less than 25 percent in 2026, and the 

advice of the Section 301 Committee, 

particularly agencies involved in U.S. 

medical preparedness, the U.S. Trade 

Representative has determined to 

increase the rate of additional duties on 

medical gloves to 50 percent in 2025 

and to 100 percent in 2026. 

The United States expects domestic 

production of nitrile gloves will 

increase over the next year, due in part 

to domestic investments for critical 

medical supplies, including medical 

gloves. Recent investments include 

CARES Act funding that aims to 

continue support of U.S. preparedness 

and of domestic production of critical 

medical supplies following the COVID 

pandemic. Increasing tariffs to 50 

percent in 2025 will help protect those 

investments and will encourage 

diversification to sources other than 

China. While China currently accounts 

for a significant share of U.S. imports of 

nitrile gloves, the increasing availability 

from U.S. sources and third-country 

sources will provide the U.S. healthcare 

systems with alternative sourcing. An 

additional increase in tariff rates in 2026 

is warranted, considering the expected 

increase in U.S. and third-country 

sources, and is responsive to those 

comments requesting a higher tariff, and 

will provide additional leverage with 

China to eliminate the investigated acts, 

policies, and practices. 

With respect to additional gloves that 

are not for medical or surgical use, these 

products are beyond the scope of the 

President’s direction, which is limited 

to medical gloves. Accordingly, the U.S. 

Trade Representative has determined 

not to amend the proposed modification 

to include these products. 

Natural Graphite: The President 

directed the U.S. Trade Representative 

to increase tariffs on natural graphite to 

25 percent in 2026. In response to the 

President’s direction, the U.S. Trade 

Representative proposed to increase 

tariffs on three subheadings covering 

three different forms of natural graphite. 

Most comments supported the 

proposed increase in tariffs, with some 

comments requesting a higher tariff rate 

than the proposed rate. Several of these 

comments also requested that certain 

additional inputs for lithium-ion 

batteries be included and treated 

similarly to natural graphite. The few 

comments opposing the additional 

duties generally assert that the proposed 

modifications would result in higher 

prices, would not be effective in 

obtaining the elimination of China’s 

acts, policies, and practices, and could 

result in possible retaliation from China. 

China has targeted the processing of 

critical minerals to become the global 

leader in the critical minerals supply 

chains. Continued reliance on China for 

refining capacity of critical minerals, 

including natural graphite, leaves U.S. 

supply chains vulnerable and puts U.S. 

national security and clean energy goals 

at risk. Increasing the tariffs on natural 

graphite would encourage 

diversification away from China and 

would provide additional leverage with 

China to eliminate the investigated acts, 

policies, and practices. Tariffs would 

also protect U.S. investments in a 

sufficient domestic industrial base for 

natural graphite and would improve the 

resiliency of the U.S. battery supply 

chain. 

For these reasons, and considering the 

President’s direction, and the advice of 

the Section 301 Committee, the U.S. 

Trade Representative has determined 

not to amend the proposed 

modifications. 

Other Critical Minerals: The President 

directed the U.S. Trade Representative 

to increase tariffs on certain critical 

minerals to 25 percent in 2024. In 

response to the President’s direction, 

the U.S. Trade Representative proposed 

increasing tariffs on 26 subheadings. 

The majority of comments opposing 

increases specifically oppose increasing 

tariffs on 2606.00.00 (aluminum ores 

and concentrates) and 2849.90.30 

(tungsten carbides). They assert limited 

availability of the minerals outside of 

China and higher costs. Other comments 

suggest the removal of five additional 

subheadings. Only three of these 

subheadings received more than one 

comment requesting removal: 

8103.20.00 (Tantalum, unwrought 

(including bars and rods obtained 

simply by sintering); tantalum 

powders); 8112.21.00 (Chromium, 

unwrought; chromium powders); and 

8112.92.30 (Indium, unwrought; indium 

powders). 

The majority of comments supporting 

the proposed modifications specifically 

support increasing tariffs on the four 

subheadings covering tungsten 

products. These comments state that 

tariffs on various tungsten-related 

inputs will benefit domestic 

manufacturing by reducing domestic 

reliance on Chinese imports, 

establishing an independent domestic 

supply chain, and reducing Chinese 

access to the intellectual property and 

technologies of U.S. companies. Several 

comments emphasize the importance of 

tungsten-related inputs to various 

critical sectors, such as aerospace, 

automotive, defense, medical, and oil 

and gas sectors. Some of these 

comments request that the tariffs on 

tungsten-related products be increased 

to 50 percent. 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2024 / Notices 76587 

The remaining comments supporting 

higher tariffs cover various critical 

minerals; most support the higher tariffs 

to counteract China’s dominance in the 

market and note that current tariff levels 

are insufficient. Most of these comments 

also note that higher tariffs will have a 

minimal impact on the domestic 

economy due to current availability of 

products from sources outside of China 

or availability from new sources. 

Comments also note that higher tariffs 

are critical to the new investments that 

help to diversify supply chains. 

In addition to supporting the 

proposed modifications, several 

comments also request that additional 

subheadings be added, including three 

subheadings covering additional 

tungsten products. Additional 

comments request the addition of 

certain uranium subheadings, as well as 

a subheading covering vanadium 

chlorides. 

Considering the public comments and 

the advice of the Section 301 

Committee, the U.S. Trade 

Representative has determined not to 

remove any subheadings. China has 

targeted the processing of critical 

minerals to become the global leader in 

the critical minerals supply chains for 

electric vehicle batteries, solar products, 

semiconductors, and other key 

products. The concentration of critical 

minerals mining and refining capacity 

in China leaves our supply chains 

vulnerable and puts our national 

security and clean energy goals at risk. 

Additionally, for many of the products 

with comments requesting removal, U.S. 

import data show that in recent years 

China has attempted to dominate supply 

chains by significantly increasing its 

share of imports. For these products, 

additional duties will help to maintain 

existing diversity in the supply chains 

and increase leverage with China to 

eliminate the investigated acts, policies, 

and practices. Regarding 2606.00.00 

(aluminum ores and concentrates), U.S. 

import data show that China’s share is 

relatively small (less than 20 percent). 

While China’s share of imports under 

statistical reporting number 

2606.00.00.30 (bauxite, calcined: 

refractory grade) is more significant, 

Guyana, a second source, is almost as 

large as China, and higher tariffs may 

help to encourage greater 

diversification. Regarding 2849.90.30 

(tungsten carbides), imports from China 

have increased significantly in recent 

years, but alternative sources remain. 

Increasing tariffs will support current 

supply chain diversity. Additionally, 

public comments note recent 

investments in domestic refining. 

The U.S. Trade Representative also 

has determined not to add certain 

proposed subheadings for uranium and 

vanadium chlorides. These subheadings 

are either already subject to section 301 

tariffs of 25 percent, or China’s share of 

imports is small and declining. 

Regarding the three tariff subheadings 

covering tungsten products and 

requested for addition, the U.S. Trade 

Representative has determined to 

propose increasing tariff rates for these 

three subheadings to 25 percent. To that 

end, USTR will publish a separate 

notice with procedures for interested 

parties to provide views on increasing 

tariffs on subheadings: 8101.94.00 

(Tungsten, unwrought (including bars 

and rods obtained simply by sintering)); 

8101.99.10 (Tungsten bars and rods (o/ 

than those obtained simply by 

sintering), profiles, plates, sheets, strip 

and foil); and 8101.99.80 (Tungsten, 

articles nesoi). 

Permanent Magnets: The President 

directed the U.S. Trade Representative 

to impose tariffs of 25 percent on 

permanent magnets in 2026. In response 

to the President’s direction, the U.S. 

Trade Representative proposed 

additional duties on products under one 

subheading (8505.11.00). 

Several comments request that tariffs 

on permanent magnets not be increased, 

noting that permanent magnets are an 

intermediate good used in a variety of 

applications and products, including 

consumer goods. Citing a Department of 

Commerce report from 2023, comments 

assert limited availability of permanent 

magnets outside of China, including 

from domestic sources. 

Comments in support of the proposed 

modification highlight the vulnerability 

of the U.S. economy and national 

security as a result of our continued 

reliance on China for permanent 

magnets, and in particular NdFeB, 

which are critical for electric vehicle 

motors (an area where China seeks 

dominance), as well as defense 

applications. The comments assert that 

the potential impact on U.S. consumers 

from the proposed modification would 

be minimal, as permanent magnets 

generally account for a low percentage 

of the total cost of final goods. 

Considering the comments and the 

advice of the Section 301 Committee, 

and consistent with the President’s 

direction, the U.S. Trade Representative 

has determined to impose additional 

tariffs on products falling under 

subheading 8505.11.00. The 2023 

Department of Commerce report 

indicates that at the time of the report 

the demand for permanent magnets 

outpaced domestic manufacturing 

capacity, but the report also notes 

federal investments and other efforts in 

support of reestablishing domestic 

production capacity, as well as plans for 

three U.S.-headquartered firms to 

establish U.S. NdFeB magnet 

manufacturing facilities by 2026. 

Increasing tariffs on permanent magnets 

in 2026 accounts for the current limited 

availability of permanent magnets 

outside of China, complements the 

upcoming investments in domestic 

production, and further encourages 

domestic investments. 

Semiconductors: The President 

directed the U.S. Trade Representative 

to increase tariffs on semiconductors to 

50 percent in 2025. In response to the 

President’s direction, the U.S. Trade 

Representative proposed increasing 

tariffs on 16 subheadings. 

Several comments highlight the 

importance of semiconductors in a 

variety applications and critical sectors, 

including the healthcare and solar 

industries. Comments note that 

following the enactment of the Creating 

Helpful Incentives to Produce 

Semiconductors (CHIPS) and Science 

Act in 2022, the United States has made 

progress in investing in domestic 

production and in recapturing 

semiconductor manufacturing from 

China’s dominance. Comments also 

assert that imports from China 

undermine that progress and the 

incentives under the CHIPS Act. 

Comments assert that the tariffs have 

helped to stimulate domestic 

manufacturing, support supply chain 

resiliency, and reduce our dependence 

on China. One comment suggests 

broadening the modifications to capture 

semiconductors entering the United 

States in downstream products. 

Comments opposing the increase in 

tariffs on semiconductors primarily 

comment on the financial impact of the 

tariffs on U.S. companies and the U.S. 

economy. These commenters assert that 

the increased duties will increase 

domestic manufacturing costs, will be 

passed on to consumers, will contribute 

to domestic inflation, and will reduce 

the competitiveness of U.S. products in 

the global market. Comments also state 

that increased manufacturing costs may 

encourage U.S. companies to move 

manufacturing out of the United States 

to third countries. 

Aside from advocating for the removal 

of the tariffs, comments opposing the 

tariffs also propose several alternatives 

to increased duties. One commenter 

argues that an effective alternative to the 

tariffs would be bilateral policy 

discussions between the United States 

and China. Another commenter suggests 

additional programs that strengthen 

domestic manufacturing, such as under 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
76588 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2024 / Notices 

the CHIPS and Science Act and the 

Inflation Reduction Act, would be more 

effective than imposing higher tariffs. 

Alternatively, the same commenter 

suggests a longer transition time to 

allow for additional manufacturing, 

noting that CHIPS funding has yet to be 

fully disbursed and it may take several 

years before domestic semiconductors 

will be available. Some comments 

request the removal of certain 

subheadings. They generally assert that 

the tariffs would increase prices and 

harm domestic manufacturing. One 

comment asserts that the tariffs are 

counterproductive to the 

Administration’s goals to increase 

domestic production of electric 

vehicles. 

Considering the public comments, the 

advice of the Section 301 Committee, 

and consistent with the direction of the 

President, the U.S. Trade Representative 

has determined that excluding 

particular products or subheadings is 

not warranted. China has targeted the 

semiconductor sector for dominance 

and is rapidly expanding its capacity, 

particularly for foundational 

semiconductors. Through the CHIPS 

and Science Act, the United States is 

making a nearly $53 billion investment 

in American semiconductor 

manufacturing capacity, research, 

innovation, and workforce. This 

investment will encourage 

diversification to alternative sources, 

providing additional leverage with 

China to eliminate the investigated acts, 

policies, and practices, and will help 

counteract decades of disinvestment 

and offshoring that has reduced the 

United States’ capacity to manufacture 

semiconductors domestically. Raising 

the tariff rate on semiconductors is an 

important initial step to complement the 

sustainability of these investments. 

Accordingly, the U.S. Trade 

Representative has determined to 

increase tariffs on the 16 proposed 

subheadings. 

Ship-to-shore cranes: The President 

directed the U.S. Trade Representative 

to increase tariffs on ship-to-shore 

cranes to 25 percent in 2024. In 

response to the President’s direction, 

the U.S. Trade Representative proposed 

increasing tariffs on certain ship-toshore cranes (transporter cranes, gantry 

cranes, and bridge cranes) under 

subheading 8426.19.00. 

In addressing the effectiveness and 

impact of the proposed tariff increase, a 

number of commenters assert that 

because the lead time for purchasing 

ship-to-shore cranes is often more than 

two years, the additional duties would 

increase costs significantly on purchases 

contracted for well before the proposed 

modification. Additionally, due to 

purchase contracts, the increased tariffs 

would not be effective in obtaining the 

elimination of, or in counteracting 

China’s acts, policies, and practices and 

would broadly impact U.S. ports and 

the U.S. economy. The majority of 

comments suggest delaying the 

additional duties until 2026 to allow 

cranes under contracts executed prior to 

the announced proposed modifications 

to enter without the section 301 duties. 

Considering the possible broad 

economic impact discussed in the 

comments, and consistent with the 

President’s direction, the U.S. Trade 

Representative has determined to 

increase duties on ship-to-shore cranes 

in 2024, but will allow for exclusions 

for cranes that fulfill contracts executed 

prior to May 14, 2024, and that enter the 

United States prior to May 14, 2026. The 

exclusion balances the possible impact 

on the U.S. economy with the security 

interests of the United States from the 

threat of Chinese state-sponsored cyber 

intrusions of critical infrastructure. 

Ship-to-shore gantry cranes, 

configured as a high- or low-profile steel 

superstructure and designed to unload 

intermodal containers from vessels with 

coupling devices for containers, 

including spreaders or twist-locks 

(provided for in subheadings 

8426.19.00), will be exempt, provided: 

(1) they are fulfilling in whole or in part 

an executed contract for sale dated prior 

to May 14, 2024, for goods that are 

entered for consumption, or withdrawn 

from warehouse for consumption, in the 

United States prior to May 14, 2026, and 

(2) the importer completes the 

certification in Annex D to this notice 

and provides the completed certification 

as part of the importer’s electronic entry 

summary to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection by uploading it to the 

Document Imaging System in the 

Automated Commercial Environment at 

the time that classification is declared 

under heading 9903.91.09 of the 

HTSUS. 

Solar Cells (whether or not assembled 

into modules): The President directed 

the U.S. Trade Representative to 

increase tariffs on solar cells to 50 

percent in 2024. In response to the 

President’s direction, the U.S. Trade 

Representative proposed increasing 

tariffs on two subheadings. 

Comments supporting the tariff 

increases assert that the tariffs are 

critical to counter China’s unfair 

policies and practices that target the 

solar industry. They note that China has 

invested in the long-term dominance of 

the global solar supply chain, which has 

resulted in limited alternatives and 

increasing dependence on Chinese 

suppliers. The comments assert that 

increasing the tariffs will allow the 

burgeoning domestic industry to 

compete, creating a more resilient 

domestic supply chain, improving U.S. 

energy security, and promoting clean 

energy initiatives. 

Comments also note that initiatives, 

such as the Inflation Reduction Act and 

the CHIPS and Science Act, provide 

critical incentives to the shift solar 

supply chains to the United States, but 

these incentives are threatened by solar 

imports from China. Two comments 

suggest that additional subheadings be 

added to cover certain inputs used in 

manufacturing solar cells. The two 

subheadings are: 2804.61.00 (Silicon 

containing by weight not less than 99.99 

percent of silicon); and 3818.00.00 

(Chemical elements doped for use in 

electronics, in the form of discs, wafers 

etc., chemical compounds doped for 

electronic use). 

There were no comments opposing 

the proposed subheading, but one 

comment requested that a statistical 

reporting number under one of the 

subheadings be excluded 

(8541.43.0010). The commenter asserts 

that the products covered by the 

statistical reporting number should be 

excluded because they are not the 

subject of technology-transfer 

agreements and increasing the tariffs 

will result in higher prices. 

Considering the comments, and the 

advice of Section 301 Committee, and 

consistent with the direction of the 

President to increase tariffs on solar 

cells (whether or not assembled into 

modules), the U.S. Trade Representative 

has determined that removing statistical 

reporting number 8541.43.0010 is not 

warranted merely because it has not 

been subject to China’s acts, policies, 

and practices or may result in higher 

prices. See section 301(c)(3)(B) of the 

Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2411(c)(3)(B)). 

Regarding the request to add 

subheadings 2804.61.00 and 3818.00.00, 

the U.S. Trade Representative has 

determined to propose increasing tariff 

rates for these two subheadings to 50 

percent. The polysilicon and wafers that 

are imported under these two 

subheadings are critical for 

manufacturing solar cells and 

semiconductors. As noted in USTR’s 

Report, China now dominates 

manufacturing capacity for polysilicon 

and wafers, accounting for 93 percent of 

polysilicon manufacturing capacity and 

95 percent of wafer capacity. China’s 

dominance in the manufacturing of 

wafers and polysilicon is likely to 

undermine new investments in 

domestic manufacturing, impede the 

resiliency of U.S. supply chains for solar 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2024 / Notices 76589 

cells and semiconductors, and 

undermine the effectiveness of the 

tariffs on solar cells and 

semiconductors. Accordingly, USTR 

will publish a separate notice with 

procedures for interested parties to 

provide views on increasing tariffs on 

subheadings: 2804.61.00 (Silicon 

containing by weight not less than 99.99 

percent of silicon); and 3818.00.00 

(Chemical elements doped for use in 

electronics, in the form of discs, wafers 

etc., chemical compounds doped for 

electronic use). 

Increasing tariffs on the two proposed 

subheadings will encourage the 

diversification of supply chains and will 

lessen dependence on China for these 

products, providing additional leverage 

with China to eliminate the investigated 

acts, policies, and practices. The tariffs 

also complement other Administration 

goals that seek to defend the United 

States against China’s policy-driven 

non-market excess capacity, which has 

led to extreme concentration of 

production in China and underpriced 

exports. Accordingly, the U.S. Trade 

Representative has determined to 

increase tariffs on the two proposed 

subheadings. 

Steel and Aluminum: The President 

directed the U.S. Trade Representative 

to increase tariffs on steel and 

aluminum products to 25 percent in 

2024. In response to the President’s 

direction, the U.S. Trade Representative 

proposed increasing or adding tariffs on 

321 steel and aluminum subheadings in 

2024. 

The 321 subheadings are within the 

scope of products subject to additional 

duties under section 232 of the Trade 

Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, but 

are not currently subject to 25 percent 

duties under section 301. Increasing or 

adding duties to these 321 subheadings 

would make nearly all of the steel and 

aluminum subheadings that are within 

the scope of the section 232 

investigations of steel and aluminum 

subject to 25 percent duties under 

section 301and will reduce 

opportunities for circumvention, 

making the actions more effective. 

USTR did not propose adding or 

increasing section 301 duties on 17 

subheadings within the scope of 

products covered by section 232. Data 

from the Department of Commerce’s 

section 232 exclusion process show that 

a majority of exclusions requested for 

products under the 17 subheadings were 

granted, and there is limited availability 

for the products outside of China. 

Several commenters suggest USTR 

include additional tariff codes covering 

upstream and downstream products 

related to steel and aluminum, but 

outside the scope of the section 232 

investigations. The U.S. Trade 

Representative has determined not to 

add subheadings outside the scope of 

the section 232 investigations on steel 

and aluminum and has determined that 

it is appropriate to use the same scope 

of products covered by the section 232 

investigations that were defined by 

Presidential proclamation. See 

Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 

(Adjusting Import of Aluminum into the 

United States), and Proclamation 9705 

of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of 

Steel into the United States). 

Some commenters suggest USTR 

include the 17 subheadings covered by 

the section 232 investigations that were 

not proposed for tariff increases. Under 

the Department of Commerce’s 

exclusion process for section 232 

products, products are granted 

exclusion either where they are not 

produced in the United States in 

sufficient and reasonably available 

amounts, or where there is a specific 

national security consideration. As 

noted above, for products under these 

17 subheadings, Commerce granted 

exclusions, and data indicates that these 

products have limited availability 

outside of China. Accordingly, the U.S. 

Trade Representative has determined 

that it would not be appropriate to 

increase tariffs on these 17 subheadings. 

Syringes and needles: The President 

directed the U.S. Trade Representative 

to increase tariffs on syringes and 

needles to no less than 50 percent. In 

response to the President’s direction, 

the U.S. Trade Representative proposed 

increasing tariffs on two subheadings. 

USTR requested commenters to address 

whether the tariff rate should be higher 

than the proposed rate. 

Regarding the proposed rate, several 

comments suggest that higher rates 

would help support domestic 

manufacturing and recommended rates 

as high as 100 percent. Most comments 

opposing the proposed increase simply 

note that prices would likely increase. 

However, a large number of comments 

report a limited availability of enteral 

syringes outside of China and assert that 

the proposed increase would impact the 

supply of enteral syringes, which are 

necessary for vulnerable patients. These 

comments request that enteral syringes 

be excluded. 

Considering the comments and the 

advice of Section 301 Committee, and 

recognizing that syringes and needles 

are critical to U.S. preparedness in 

responding to public health emergencies 

and the need to maintain alternative 

sources, consistent with the President’s 

direction, the U.S. Trade Representative 

has determined to increase tariffs on 

syringes and needles under the two 

subheadings to 100 percent in 2024. To 

address the possible shortages of enteral 

syringes, the U.S. Trade Representative 

has determined to exclude enteral 

syringes through January 1, 2026. 

USTR’s Response to Significant 

Comments on Machinery Exclusion 

Process 

The President directed the U.S. Trade 

Representative to establish a process by 

which interested persons may request 

that particular machinery used in 

domestic manufacturing classified 

within a subheading under Chapters 84 

and 85 of the HTSUS be temporarily 

excluded from section 301 tariffs, and to 

prioritize, in particular, exclusions for 

certain solar manufacturing. In response 

to the President’s direction, the U.S. 

Trade Representative proposed 312 

subheadings eligible for consideration of 

temporary exclusion, and proposed 19 

temporary exclusions for solar 

manufacturing equipment. 

Chapters 84 and 85 of the HTSUS 

cover most machinery used in 

manufacturing processes. The 312 

subheadings proposed, include 

machines used to physically alter a good 

in the manufacturing process. The 

limited scope of the exclusion process 

strikes a balance between mitigating 

U.S. companies’ costs in expanding 

domestic production capacity while 

maintaining the appropriate amount of 

leverage with China to encourage China 

to eliminate the acts, policies, and 

practices that are the subject of the 

investigation. 

In response to USTR’s request for 

comments on whether the 312 

subheadings proposed should or should 

not be eligible in the machinery 

exclusion process and whether certain 

subheading under Chapters 84 and 85 

that cover machinery used in domestic 

manufacturing were omitted and should 

be included, USTR received more than 

650 comments, with approximately half 

of the comments proposing additional 

subheadings under Chapters 84 and 85. 

The remaining comments either 

opposed including certain subheadings, 

supported proposed subheadings, or 

proposed subheadings not under 

Chapters 84 and 85. 

Considering the comments, and the 

advice of the Section 301 Committee, 

and consistent with the direction of the 

President, the U.S. Trade Representative 

has determined to add five additional 

subheadings to be eligible for 

consideration of temporary exclusions. 

These five subheadings are: 8421.21.00 

(Machinery and apparatus for filtering 

or purifying water); 8421.29.00 

(Filtering or purifying machinery and 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
76590 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2024 / Notices 

apparatus for liquids, nesoi); 8421.39.01 

(Filtering or purifying machinery and 

apparatus for gases, other than intake air 

filters or catalytic conv. for internal 

combustion engines); 8428.70.00 

(Industrial robots); and 8443.19.30 

(Printing machinery, nesoi). These 

subheadings appear to include 

machinery used to physically alter 

goods in the manufacturing process. 

Consistent with the President’s 

direction, the U.S. Trade Representative 

has determined not to add subheadings 

outside of Chapters 84 and 85 or 

subheadings that only include parts, 

accessories, consumables, or general 

equipment that is unable to physically 

change a good. Additionally, the U.S. 

Trade Representative has determined 

not to remove any of the proposed 

subheadings. Comments requesting that 

subheadings be removed generally 

assert that machines covered by the 

subheading were available from sources 

outside of China. Under the exclusion 

process, commenters both supporting 

and opposing particular exclusions for 

machines under any of these 

subheadings will have an opportunity to 

provide their views. This will provide 

USTR with greater opportunity to gather 

more specific information about the 

machinery requested for exclusion, 

including the availability of products 

outside of China. 

Nineteen Proposed Solar Manufacturing 

Equipment Exclusions 

The President directed the U.S. Trade 

Representative to prioritize exclusions 

for certain solar manufacturing 

equipment. In response to the 

President’s direction, the U.S. Trade 

Representative proposed 19 exclusions 

covering solar manufacturing 

equipment. The exclusions included 

five exclusions for equipment to 

manufacture solar modules, six 

exclusions for equipment to 

manufacture solar cells, and eight 

exclusions for equipment to 

manufacture solar wafers. 

USTR received several comments 

requesting that the exclusions for solar 

manufacturing equipment be made 

effective prior to May 28, 2024. USTR 

received a number of comments 

opposing the exclusions based on the 

assertion that certain equipment is 

available from alternative sources. 

Specifically, with respect to the five 

exclusions for solar module 

manufacturing equipment and the six 

exclusions for solar cell manufacturing 

equipment, a number of comments 

assert that alternative sources for the 

machinery are available, both 

domestically and in Europe. Several 

comments noted that excluding Chinese 

equipment would disincentivize 

companies to purchase from alternative 

sources and negatively impact 

burgeoning supply chains. Comments 

supporting the exclusions focus 

primarily on Chinese equipment being 

low-cost equipment, but some also 

assert that China is the only source for 

most solar equipment. 

Considering the public comments, the 

specific direction of the President to 

prioritize exclusions for solar 

equipment, and the advice of the 

Section 301 Committee, particularly 

agencies involved in efforts to build 

capacity for domestic production of 

solar products, the U.S. Trade 

Representative has determined not to 

adopt the five exclusions covering solar 

manufacturing equipment for modules. 

Available information indicates that 

there is sufficient availability of the 

products covered by the exclusions 

outside of China, such that the 

exclusions are not warranted and could 

harm alternative sourcing currently 

available. 

Regarding proposals to temporarily 

exclude wafer and cell manufacturing 

equipment, the U.S. Trade 

Representative has determined to adopt 

the 14 exclusions for this manufacturing 

equipment. There is limited information 

regarding the availability and pricing of 

the cell manufacturing equipment 

covered by these exclusions outside of 

China, but some of the risks of granting 

the exclusions are mitigated by the short 

prospective duration of the exclusions. 

The exclusion period will allow for the 

development of strategies to reduce U.S. 

reliance on Chinese cell manufacturing 

equipment, and for greater supply chain 

resilience and enhanced domestic 

manufacturing more generally. 

Regarding the wafer manufacturing 

equipment, available information 

indicates that alternative sources do not 

currently have sufficient supply of the 

equipment covered by these exclusions. 

Regarding requests for a longer 

retroactive period for the exclusions for 

solar manufacturing equipment, the U.S. 

Trade Representative has determined to 

make the exclusions effective January 1, 

2024, and through May 31, 2025. The 

additional time will support those 

investments in domestic production that 

were made in 2024, but prior to USTR’s 

announced proposals. With the goal of 

reducing reliance on China, and to 

ensure that imports under the 

exclusions support both greater 

domestic production of solar products 

and supply chain resilience, USTR will 

actively monitor imports under the 14 

temporary exclusions. Additionally, 

based on the public comments, the U.S. 

Trade Representative has made certain 

amendments to the proposed product 

descriptions for the exclusions. The 

final product descriptions for the 

adopted exclusions are included in 

Annex B of this notice. 

The U.S. Trade Representative will 

continue to consider the actions taken 

in this investigation. In the event that 

further modifications are appropriate, 

the U.S. Trade Representative intends to 

take into account the extensive public 

comments provided in response to the 

May 28 notice.
