Notice of Modification of Section 301 Action: China's Acts, Policies, and Practices Related to Technology Transfer, Intellectual Property, and Innovation

Importers of Chinese goods face potential additional tariffs under Section 301 based on USTR findings related to China's technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation practices. A formal modification to the existing Section 301 action is scheduled, meaning the scope or rate of covered tariffs may change.

The action targets Chinese imports linked to China's acts, policies, and practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation. Specific HS headings are not enumerated in the linked signals, but two separate proposed tariff actions (signals ustr:2018-07119 and ustr:2018-13248) have been issued, indicating at least two product lists are involved.
