Notice of Modification and Proposed Modification of Section 301 Action: China's Targeting of the Maritime, Logistics, and Shipbuilding Sectors for Dominance

USTR has found China's state-directed efforts in maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding to be actionable under Section 301, and is proposing fees or restrictions on Chinese-built or Chinese-operated vessels calling at U.S. ports. Importers and shippers relying on such vessels face potential cost increases if the proposed measures are finalized.

The proposed measures target China's maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding sectors, with specific focus on Chinese-built or Chinese-operated vessels calling at U.S. ports.
