Tariffs: How to Weigh In

摘要

The US Trade Representative (USTR) is now accepting comments on the latest proposed round of 25% tariffs, which will impact home textiles imported from China. On May 10, the US trade war with China intensified as President Trump ordered 25% tariffs be placed on a remaining $300 billion in Chinese goods shipped to the United States that had not already been subject to tariff. The Home Fashions Products Association (HFPA) and its members are submitting their arguments against imposing tariffs on home textiles and are petitioning to appear at the June 17 hearing on the matter. Individual companies can also make their case to the USTR by submitting written comments byjune 17. Comments must include: 1 The specific tariff subheadings to be subject to increased duties, including whether the subheadings listed in the Annex should be retained or removed, or whether subheadings not currently on the list should be added.
