WASHINGTON -- The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on Wednesday announced that it has decided to reinstate certain previously granted and extended "Section 301" tariff exclusions for Chinese products.

The determination reinstates 352 of the 549 eligible exclusions, and the reinstated product exclusions will apply as of Oct 12, 2021, and extend through Dec 31, according to a statement from the office.

Former US President Donald Trump launched a trade war with China, and levied additional tariffs on over $300 billion worth of Chinese imports, citing the so-called Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. To offer relief for some companies in certain industries, Trump approved tariff exclusions for certain products.
