In November 7th, the United States Trade Representative Office (USTR) announced the fourth batch of product exclusion notice under the list of 200 billion tariff products. This excludes a total of 36 products, including 3 textile and clothing products. Up to now, the United States has issued 4 batches of 200 billion product elimination lists, of which first batches involve 2 textile and garment products tax numbers, the second batch relates to 3 textile and garment products tax numbers, third batches of 7 textile and clothing products tax numbers, and a total of 15 textile and clothing products tax numbers. The excluded products will no longer be subject to a 301 tariff when they export to the United States.
