Just a reminder,
The United States imposed additional tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on imported products of 60 economies under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which became effective on July 24, 2026. The new Section 301 tariffs became effective on the same date that the temporary Section 122 balance-of-payments tariffs expired. These Section 301 duties apply broadly based upon a product’s country of origin with specific exemptions for certain goods.
However, certain commodities and shipment types are exempt from these additional tariffs, which are processed using specific Chapter 99 HTSUS subheadings (9903.05.85 through 9903.06.21).
Exemptions include:
Informational materials (9903.05.92): media items, including books, publications, films, posters, photographs, compact disks, artworks, and news wire feeds.
