RE: USTR 2018-0025; Request for Exclusion From the Determination of Action Pursuant 

to Section 301: China's Acts, Policies, and Practices Related to Technology Transfer, 

Intellectual Property, and Innovation Tariff Under Harmonized Tariff Code 

(HTS) 8413.70.2004 

Dear Sir, 

This request for exclusion is submitted pursuant to Federal Register notice published on July 11, 

20181 , establishing the process to submit exclusion requests from tariffs applied to U.S. imports 

according to the Determination of Action Pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 197 4: China's 

Acts, Policies and Practices Related to Technology Transfer, Intellectual Property and Innovation. 

We hereby respectfully request that the water fountains imported by HoMedics USA LLC 

(HoMedics or the Company), under HTS code 8413.70.2004 be excluded from the additional25% 

tariff imposed on this HTS code pursuant to Section 301. 

Explained below are the reasons why the water fountains meet the elements in the Federal 

Register notice to be excluded from the additional tariff under Section 301 . 

1. Distinguished from other products in the 8 digit HTS code 

The subject water fountains are classified under HTS 8413.70.2004, "Other centrifugal pumps; 

Other; Submersible pumps." The 8 digit code is only for "Other centrifugal pumps; Other." 

Accordingly, the subject water fountains, models WFL-200, WFL-200GY, and WFL-200NL, differ 

from other water fountains in this general 8 digit classification as these fountains are submersible. 

These models are identical in dimensions, material composition, and functionality. They also have 

identical components. The products are decorative water fountains specifically designed for 

indoor, tabletop use. The products feature a wide, circular collection basin with an illuminated 

center surrounded by four tiers of flat rings onto which water flows. They are powered by a durable 

electrical water pump that must be submerged to function properly and measure approximately 

8.25"Lx8.25"Wx5.75"H. The products are further distinguished from the 8 digit tariff description, 

as they include a unique design to mimic the sound of cascading waters and evoke a relaxing 

ambience. See Attachment A for a description of the lead model of the water fountains. 

2. Severe economic burden to HoMedics and U.S. interests 

These water fountains represent a highly profitable product line last imported around 2008, but 

HoMedics currently has plans to resume importing the water fountains in the near future. In fact, 

production is already in progress for the WFL-200, WFL-200GY, and WFL-200NL models. To levy 

this large of an additional cost to the water fountain product models the Company plans to resume 

1 83 Fed. Reg. 32181 - 32184 (July 11, 2018).

PUBLIC VERSION 

importing translates to a substantial additional cost to HoMedics in material purchases on Chinese 

manufactured water fountains. This amount of additional spend on these imported products would 

drastically reduce HoMedics' net income on the entire product offering for the entire period the 

tariffs are in effect. Even so, this future imported value represents an insignificant amount of the 

$50 billion in imported goods from China that the Section 301 tariffs are intended to address. 

Further, the additional tariffs would severely curtail the Company's ability to develop new 

products, source new customers, and maintain existing large volume customers. Eventually this 

would lead to reduction of the Company's [] and reduction in its overall company footprint to offset 

the tariff impact. A truly "American made" company would suffer due to imposition of the additional 

tariffs. 

3. Impact of Changing Sourcing to HoMedics 

As provided in the attached exclusion request form, similar water fountains can be sourced from 

the U.S. and other third countries such as South Korea, Thailand and Malaysia. However, there 

is a downtime and extreme additional monetary and resource cost in moving sourcing to suppliers 

in other countries. Primarily, the base cost of obtaining the water fountains from the new supplier 

will be an increased price relative to that HoMedics currently pays to its established supplier. In 

addition to this detrimental impact to the Company's bottom line, it would take HoMedics 

approximately [ ] to be able to institute a sourcing change. During this time, the Company would 

be required to pay the additional 25% tariff under Section 301 while working towards initiating and 

negotiating new supplier relationships. Further, achieving the goal of cementing new supplier 

relationships requires an additional expenditure of approximately [ ]. This expense would be an 

incremental cost over the additional tariff duties, and in addition to the higher price paid to the 

new suppliers to source the product models. 

There are other impediments and obstacles beyond these increased base costs to obtaining 

alternate sourcing of the products. The suppliers HoMedics currently source from are certified in 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection's CTPAT program (Customs Trade Partnership Against 

Terrorism), which is a key selling point to HoMedics and the companies it sells to. HoMedics 

would require that its new suppliers also be CTPAT certified, which is an additional burden in 

terms of cost, timing and resources from different departments to achieve that change. While 

HoMedics seeks to find new suppliers and obtain CTPAT certification for them, the Company 

could potentially lose customers during the changeover. Further, in addition to the additional time 

spent in reviewing new suppliers and negotiating new contracts, HoMedics would spend 

additional time and internal resources on conducting internal compliance audits with its new 

vendors to ensure they are adhering to the Company's strict quality assurance protocols and 

internal compliance controls. The monetary impact of the additional resources spent is difficult to 

quantify but places an additional burden on current U.S. employees for extended lengths of time 

and thus impairs the HoMedics model of productivity and efficiency to ensure the continued 

growth of this American company. 

4. Relevance to "Made in China 2025" program 

The water fountains manufactured by the Chinese factories are made according to longstanding, 

public knowledge and experience in this industry area. Accordingly, there is no forced transfer of

PUBLIC VERSION 

technology, which transfer is the focus of the Section 301 tariffs as discussed in the Section 301 

report from the USTR.2. 

Additionally, the residential water fountain industry is not an advanced manufacturing area. The 

water fountains are not one of the ten industries which are the focus of the "2025" program. 

Rather, these industries include: 

(1) advanced information technology; (2) robotics and automated machine tools; 

(3) aircraft and aircraft components; (4) maritime vessels and marine engineering equipment; (5) 

advanced rail equipment; (6) new energy vehicles; (7) electrical generation and transmission 

equipment; (8) agricultural machinery and equipment; (9) new materials; and (1 0) 

pharmaceuticals and advanced medical devices. 

There is accordingly no direct link between these relatively low volume imports of water fountains, 

and the goals of the Section 301 tariffs to address the targeted industries in the "China 2025" 

program. 

Additionally, there is no joint venture between HoMedics and its Chinese suppliers. HoMedics' 

business relationship is not subject to any Chinese administrative policies which require the 

transfer of any U.S. intellectual property in any manner. Thus, penalizing a U.S. company where 

U.S. intellectual rights are not at risk by forcing it to pay additional duties does not further the U.S. 

government's policy regarding the "Made in China" initiative. In fact, the relationship between the 

Section 301 tariff goals and the actual impact in this instance is nonexistent. Applying the Section 

301 tariff to the imports of the water fountains by HoMedics does not serve the purpose of the 

Section 301 goals but in fact contravenes the goals. 

In light of the above, HoMedics sincerely requests that its water fountain models WFL-200, WFL200GY, and WFL-200NL be granted an exclusion of the 25% Section 301 tariff. Importation of 

these product models does not undermine the U.S. government policy toward the "Made in China 

2025" program and would only be detrimental to the economic viability of this moderate sized U.S. 

company. The submitter certifies that information provided is complete and correct to the best of 

his or her knowledge.

HOW TO USE 

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Familiarize yourself with the pump. The switch located 

on the front of the pump controls the pump speed. 

The speed is indicated by a plus (+) and minus (-) 

sign. To increase the speed, move the switch slowly 

to the left in the direction of the plus sign. At its 

highest speed level, the switch will cease to move 

any farther. To decrease the pump speed for less 

water flow, move the switch to the right toward the 

minus sign. At its lowest speed, the switch will cease 

to move any farther. 

2. Clip the LED light into the plastic ring located inside 

the fountain top. 

3. Insert the tube into the pump. 

4. Fill base with water up to the fill line. Keep the 

water filled to the suggested level at all times for 

optimum performance. 

5. Set the fountain top onto the base. 

6. Starting with the largest piece, place slate pieces 

onto the fountain top. 

7. AttachtheACadapterjacktothepowercord. DO NOT 

plug into an outlet at this time. 

8. Rinse the rocks with water. Arrange the rocks on 

the platform. 

9. Set the fountain on a level, waterproof surface. 

10. Plug the cord into a 120V household outlet. The switch 

located on the power cord controls the fountain. If 

pump doesn't operate, click the power button once 

to turn on and once more to turn off. NOTE: Ensure 

that the electrical cord loops below the electrical 

outlet to form a "drip loop." This will prevent water 

from running down the cord into the electrical outlet. 

11. For the best results, operate with the pump 

completely submerged. Keep the water level at 

the fill line at all times. 

TO CLEAN 

1. To clean the pump: Unplug from electrical outlet. Use 

a small brush or stream of water to remove any debris. 

2. To keep water clean: Periodically change water 

and clean the product according to the water 

condition. Over time, fountain water and the 

fountain itself become dirty. We suggest cleaning 

and exchanging water weekly to increase 

longevity of the fountain. 

3. To clean off hard water deposits on the base: Soak 

the container in a mixture of vinegar and water to 

clean and remove any mineral buildup.

4. Keep water at an optimum level: Add water 

periodically to keep it at an optimum level to avoid 

shortening the life of the pump. Never let the pump 

run dry. 

5. Fountain storage: Unplug the fountain from the 

electrical outlet, empty the water, dry the fountain, 

and store rocks and fountain in a cool, dry place. 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN 

CHILDREN ARE PRESENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING: 

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. 

• Always place fountain on a firm, flat surface. Due to 

the imperfect edges that are inherent to our natural 

stone fountains, water may splash outside the base 

of the unit. Therefore, we strongly recommend that 

you place your fountain and fountain parts on a 

waterproof surface or that you cover the surface 

with a waterproof barrier. 

• DO NOT place on any surface that can be damaged 

by water. 

• DO NOT reach for a unit that has fallen into water. 

Unplug it immediately. 

• DO NOT place or drop into water or other liquids. 

• DO NOT use water above 86°F. 

• Use this unit only for its intended purpose as described in 

this document, the Quick-Start Guide and User Guide. 

• DO NOT use attachments not recommended by 

MIRRA or HoMedics; specifically any attachments 

not provided with this unit. 

• NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening. 

• DO NOT place the fountain near heat sources, such 

as a stove. 

• Always keep the cord away from high temperature 

and fire.

• DO NOT clean, adjust, or move the fountain, or 

place hands into the water of the fountain without 

first unplugging it from the electrical outlet. 

• Keep this unit out of reach of children. 

• Never let the pump run dry, as this will shorten the life 

of the pump. 

• Operate pump completely submerged for 

proper cooling. 

• To ensure quiet operation of pump, you must rinse 

off all surfaces of your fountain, including the rocks 

(if provided with your model) before using the first 

time. Any dirt or residue that remains on the fountain 

surface may obstruct the water flow through your 

pump, thereby causing unnecessary noise. 

• DO NOT carry this appliance by the power cord or 

use the cord as a handle. 

• Operate with tap or distilled water. 

• The pump must be completely submerged in water. 

If the pump is making noises, most likely it is not 

completely submerged in water.

INSTRUCTIONS DE SECURITE IMPORTANTES 

LORS DE L'UTILISATION DE PRODUITS ELECTRIQUES, EN 

PARTICULIER LORSQUE DES ENFANTS SONT PRESENTS, DES 

MESURES DE SECURITE DE BASE DOIVENT TOUJOURS ETRE 

SUIVIES, DONT LES SUIVANTES : 

LIRE TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT L'UTILISATION. 

• Toujours placer Ia fontaine sur une surface plate 

et ferme. En raison des imperfections inherentes a 

nos fontaines en pierre naturelle, il est possible que 

de l'eau gicle a l'exterieur du socle de l'appareil. 

Par consequent, nous recommandons fortement 

de placer Ia fontaine et ses pieces sur une surface 

impermeable ou de couvrir Ia surface avec une 

protection impermeable. 

• NE PAS placer Ia fontaine sur une surface qui pourrait 

etre endommagee par de l'eau. 

• NE PAS toucher un appareil qui est tombe dans l'eau. 

Le debrancher immediatement. 

• NE PAS placer ou immerger l'appareil dans de l'eau 

ou un autre liquide. 

• NE PAS utiliser d'eau a une temperature superieure a 

30°C (86°F). 

• Utiliser cet appareil uniquement pour l'usage prevu 

decrit dans ce document, le guide de demarrage 

rapide et le guide de I 'utilisateur. 

• NE PAS utiliser d 'accessoires non recommandes par
