A. Background

    On August 24, 2017, the U.S. Trade Representative initiated an 
investigation into certain acts, policies, and practices of the 
Government of China related to technology transfer, intellectual 
property, and innovation under section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended (Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2411). See 82 FR 40213. In a notice 
published on April 6, 2018, the U.S. Trade Representative determined 
that acts, policies, and practices of the Government of China related 
to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation were 
unreasonable or discriminatory, and burdened or restricted U.S. 
commerce, and thus were actionable under section 301(b) of the Trade 
Act (19 U.S.C. 2411(b)). See 83 FR 14906.
    Following a notice and comment process on the proposed action to be 
taken in the investigation, the U.S. Trade Representative took two 
actions under section 301 of the Trade Act: the July 6, 2018, action, 
covering an approximate annual trade value of $34 billion (List 1), and 
the August 23, 2018, action, covering an approximate annual trade value 
of $16 billion (List 2). See 83 FR 28710 (July 6, 2018, action) and 83 
FR 40823 (August 23, 2018, action). These actions subsequently were 
modified by imposing additional duties on supplemental lists of 
products, known as Lists 3 and 4, as well as by the temporary removal 
of duties on certain products through product exclusions.
    On May 5, 2022, USTR announced that under section 307(c)(2) of the 
Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2417(c)(2)), the July 6, 2018, and August 23, 
2018, actions, as modified, were subject to possible termination on 
their respective four-year anniversary dates (i.e., July 6, 2022, and 
August 23, 2022) and of the opportunity for representatives of domestic 
industries that benefit from the trade actions to request continuation 
of the actions during the last 60 days of such four-year periods. See 
87 FR 26797.
    On September 8, 2022, USTR announced that the July 6, 2018 and the 
August 23, 2018 actions, as modified, would remain in effect because at 
least one representative of a domestic industry that benefits from each 
action submitted to the U.S. Trade Representative a request for 
continuation of the actions. See 87 FR 55073. The notice also announced 
that in accordance with section 307(c)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 
2417(c)(3)), the U.S. Trade Representative would conduct a review of 
the July 6, 2018 and the August 23, 2018 actions, as modified. See 87 
FR 55073.
    To aid in this review, on November 15, 2022, USTR opened a docket 
for interested persons to submit comments with respect to a number of 
considerations concerning the review. See 87 FR 62914. USTR received 
approximately 1,500 comments.
    Based on information obtained during the review, including the 
public comments, USTR, in consultation with the Section 301 Committee, 
prepared a comprehensive report that included findings on the 
effectiveness of the July 6, 2018 and the August 23, 2018 actions, as 
modified, in achieving the objectives of the investigation, other 
actions that could be taken, and the effects of such actions on the 
United States economy, including consumers. The report, Four-Year 
Review of Actions Taken in the Section 301 Investigation: China's Acts, 
Policies, and Practices Related to Technology Transfer, Intellectual 
Property, and Innovation (Report), was published on May 14, 2024, and 
is available on the USTR website.
    As detailed in the Report, the U.S. Trade Representative found 
that:
    [ssquf] The section 301 actions have been effective in encouraging 
China to take steps toward eliminating some of its technology transfer-
related acts, policies, and practices, and have reduced some of the 
exposure of U.S. persons and businesses to these technology transfer-
related acts, policies, and practices.
    [ssquf] China has not eliminated many of its technology transfer-
related acts, policies, and practices, which continue to impose a 
burden or restriction on U.S. commerce. Instead of pursuing fundamental 
reform, China has persisted, and even become more aggressive, 
particularly through cyber intrusions and cybertheft, in its attempts 
to acquire and absorb foreign technology, which further burden or 
restrict U.S. commerce.
    [ssquf] Economic analyses generally find that the duties have had 
small negative effects on U.S. aggregate economic welfare, positive 
impacts on U.S. production in the ten sectors most directly affected by 
the duties, and minimal impacts on economy-wide prices and employment.
    [ssquf] Economic analyses, including the principal U.S. Government 
analysis published by the U.S. International Trade Commission, 
generally find that the section 301 tariffs have contributed to 
reducing U.S. imports of goods from China and increasing imports from 
alternate sources, including U.S. allies and partners, thereby 
potentially supporting U.S. supply chain diversification and 
resilience.
    Based on the Report findings, the U.S. Trade Representative 
recommended to the President to maintain the section 301 tariffs on the 
covered products. To further encourage China to eliminate the 
investigated acts, policies, and practices, the U.S. Trade 
Representative also recommended enhancing the effectiveness of the 
tariff actions by adding or increasing section 301 tariffs on certain 
products in strategic sectors, including sectors targeted by China for 
dominance, or sectors where the United States recently made significant 
domestic investments. The U.S. Trade Representative found that 
``increasing or adding section 301 tariffs on products targeted by 
China for dominance will help encourage the elimination of investigated 
technology transfer-related acts, policies, and practices by 
encouraging alternative sourcing in strategic sectors of the economy, 
reducing U.S. reliance on China, while also reducing exposure to 
China's technology transfer-related acts, policies, and practices, and 
helping to maintain resilient, diverse, and secure supply chains.''
    On May 14, 2024, taking into consideration the U.S. Trade 
Representative's findings in the Report and recommendations, the 
President issued a Memorandum (President's Memorandum) that directed 
the U.S. Trade Representative to: ``maintain, as appropriate and 
consistent with this memorandum, the ad valorem rates of duty and lists 
of products subject to the [actions] taken under the section 301 
investigation'' and ``[t]o further encourage China to eliminate the 
acts, policies, and practices at issue, and to counteract the burden or 
restriction of these acts, policies, and practices, the Trade 
Representative shall modify the [actions taken in the investigation] to 
increase section 301 ad valorem rates of duty'' for certain specified 
products of China. See https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/05/14/memorandum-on-actions-by-the-united-states-related-to-the-statutory-4-year-review-of-the-section-301-investigation-of-chinas-acts-policies-and-practices-related-to-technology-transfer-intellectua/. In particular, the President's 
Memorandum specified categories of products for proposed tariff 
increases, tariff rates for those products, and year for tariff 
increases. With respect to tariff increases, the President directed 
increases on the following products:


[[Page 76583]]


 Battery parts (non-lithium-ion batteries)--Increase rate to 
25% in 2024
 Electric vehicles--Increase rate to 100% in 2024
 Facemasks--Increase rate to no less than 25% in 2024
 Lithium-ion electrical vehicle batteries--Increase rate to 25% 
in 2024
 Lithium-ion non-electrical vehicle batteries--Increase rate to 
25% in 2026
 Medical gloves--Increase rate to no less than 25% in 2026
 Natural graphite--Increase rate to 25% in 2026
 Other critical minerals--Increase rate to 25% in 2024
 Permanent magnets--Increase rate to 25% in 2026
 Semiconductors--Increase rate to 50% in 2025
 Ship-to-shore cranes--Increase rate to 25% in 2024
 Solar cells (whether or not assembled into modules)--Increase 
rate to 50% in 2024
 Steel and aluminum products--Increase rate to 25% in 2024
 Syringes and needles--Increase rate to no less than 50% in 
2024

    The President also directed the U.S. Trade Representative to 
establish a process by which interested persons may request that 
particular machinery used in domestic manufacturing classified within a 
subheading under Chapters 84 and 85 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 
of the United States (HTSUS) be temporarily excluded from section 301 
tariffs, and directed the U.S. Trade Representative to prioritize, in 
particular, exclusions for certain solar manufacturing equipment.
    Additionally, the White House released a statement further 
explaining how China's acts, policies, and practices have contributed 
to China's significant control of global production for the critical 
inputs necessary for U.S. technologies, infrastructure, energy, and 
healthcare and China's growing overcapacity and export surges, and how 
such control threatens U.S. supply chains and economic security. See 
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/05/14/fact-sheet-president-biden-takes-action-to-protect-american-workers-and-businesses-from-chinas-unfair-trade-practices/.

B. Proposed Modification to the Actions

    Consistent with the President's direction, USTR issued a Federal 
Register notice with proposed modifications. See 89 FR 46252 (May 28, 
2024) (May 28 notice). In the May 28 notice, the U.S. Trade 
Representative proposed increasing section 301 duties on 382 HTSUS 
subheadings and 5 statistical reporting numbers of the HTSUS, with an 
approximate annual trade value of $18 billion (2023). Additionally, the 
U.S. Trade Representative proposed subheadings eligible for 
consideration for temporary exclusion under a process by which 
interested persons may request that particular machinery used in 
domestic manufacturing and classified within certain subheadings under 
Chapters 84 and 85 of HTSUS be temporarily excluded. Finally, the U.S. 
Trade Representative proposed 19 temporary exclusions for solar 
manufacturing equipment. In accordance with section 307(a)(2) of the 
Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2417(a)(2)), USTR invited comments from interested 
persons with respect to the proposed modifications, the scope of the 
machinery exclusion process, and the temporary exclusions for solar 
manufacturing equipment. USTR opened a 30-day docket on May 29, 2024.
    With respect to the proposed tariff increases, USTR requested 
commenters to address the effectiveness of the proposed modification, 
the effects of the proposed modification on the U.S. economy, including 
consumers, and whether the tariff subheadings or statistical reporting 
numbers identified for each product or sector adequately cover the 
products and sectors included in the President's direction to the U.S. 
Trade Representative. In addition, for facemasks, needles and syringes, 
and medical gloves, consistent with the President's direction to 
increase tariffs no less than specified rates, USTR requested comment 
on whether the rates of additional duty should be higher than the 
proposed rates, and with respect to facemasks, whether additional 
statistical reporting numbers under HTSUS subheading 6307.90.98 should 
be included.
    With respect to the machinery exclusion process, USTR requested 
comments on whether the subheadings proposed should or should not be 
eligible for consideration in the machinery exclusion process and 
whether certain subheadings under Chapters 84 and 85 that cover 
machinery used in domestic manufacturing were omitted and should be 
included. Finally, with respect to the 19 proposed solar manufacturing 
machinery exclusions, USTR requested comments on the scope of each 
exclusion, including suggested amendments to the product description.
    In response to the May 28 notice, USTR received more than 1,100 
comments. Of the comments received, approximately 420 comments 
expressed views about the proposed tariff increases on certain 
products, approximately 656 comments expressed views about the proposed 
subheadings eligible for consideration of temporary exclusions under an 
exclusion process for machinery used in domestic manufacturing, and 
approximately 80 comments expressed views about the proposed 19 
temporary exclusions for solar manufacturing equipment. The public 
submissions are available at https://comments.ustr.gov, docket number 
USTR-2024-0007.

C. Determination To Modify the Actions

    Pursuant to sections 307(c) and 307(a)(1) of the Trade Act (19 
U.S.C. 2417(c), (a)(1)), the U.S. Trade Representative may modify or 
terminate any action, subject to the specific direction, if any, of the 
President with respect to such action, that is being taken under 
section 301 if the burden or restriction on U.S. commerce of the acts, 
policies, and practices that are the subject of such action has 
increased or decreased, or such action is being taken under section 
301(b) and no longer is appropriate.
    As detailed in USTR's Report, modification of the action is 
warranted under section 307(a)(1)(B) as many of the technology 
transfer-related acts, policies, and practices described in the 
original section 301 Report persist and increasingly burden or restrict 
U.S. commerce. Rather than eliminate the technology transfer-related 
acts, policies, and practices that are the subject of the section 301 
investigation, the Report reviews how China has become more aggressive, 
particularly through cybertheft and cyber intrusions, in its attempts 
to acquire and absorb foreign technology and IP on a nonconsensual 
basis from U.S. companies, costing U.S. companies and consumers 
billions of dollars, and adding to the burden or restriction on U.S. 
commerce.
    Modification of the actions also is appropriate under section 
307(a)(1)(C). The term ``appropriate''' as used in subsection C refers 
to section 301(b), which requires the U.S, Trade Representative to 
``take all appropriate and feasible action authorized under [section 
301(c)] to obtain the elimination of [the] act, policy, or practice.'' 
The specific action that will obtain the elimination of an act, policy, 
or practice is a matter of predictive judgment, to be exercised by the 
U.S. Trade Representative, subject to any specific direction of the 
President. China's actions over the review period,

[[Page 76584]]

as discussed in USTR's Report has shown that maintaining the current 
action is no longer appropriate in order to induce China to eliminate 
its acts, policies, or practices.
    Modification of the actions is further warranted considering the 
findings in USTR's Report on the effectiveness of the prior actions in 
achieving the objectives of the investigation other actions that could 
be taken, and the effects of such actions on the U.S. economy, 
including consumers.
    The President has exercised his authority under section 307 to 
direct the U.S. Trade Representative to modify the actions being taken 
in the investigation. Specifically, as discussed above, the President 
directed the U.S. Trade Representative to increase the rates of duty 
for specified goods, with specified rates and timing. Additionally, the 
President directed the U.S. Trade Representative to establish an 
exclusion process for machinery used in domestic manufacturing 
classified within a subheading under Chapters 84 and 85 of the HTSUS 
and to prioritize, in particular, exclusions for certain solar 
manufacturing equipment.
    The modifications to the actions are set out in the Annexes to this 
notice. The U.S. Trade Representative's determination takes account of 
the public comments, the President's direction of May 14, 2024, the 
policy rationale underlying the President's direction, as well as the 
advice of the interagency section 301 committee and appropriate 
advisory committees.
    Section 301(c)(3)(B) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2411(c)(3)(B)) 
authorizes the U.S. Trade Representative to take action against any 
goods or economic sector of the foreign country concerned regardless of 
whether or not such goods or economic sector are involved in the act, 
policy, or practice subject to investigation. The modifications include 
increasing section 301 duties on 382 HTSUS subheadings and 7 
statistical reporting numbers of the HTSUS under 14 product groups. 
Additionally, the U.S. Trade Representative is modifying the actions to 
temporarily exclude from additional duties certain solar manufacturing 
equipment under 14 product specific exclusions.
    As outlined below, in consideration of public comments and the 
advice of the section 301 committee, the U.S. Trade Representative has 
made certain adjustments to the modifications proposed in May 28 
notice. The adjustments and the reasons for them are discussed below in 
USTR's response to significant comments.
    Annex A contains an informal table of the tariff increases under 
the 14 product groups specified by the President and the 382 
subheadings and 7 statistical reporting numbers, the tariff rates, and 
years for tariff increases. Annex B contains the 14 temporary 
exclusions for solar manufacturing equipment. Annex C contains the 
HTSUS modifications to impose additional duties, to increase rates of 
additional duties, and to exclude certain solar manufacturing equipment 
from additional duties. Annex D contains the Importer Certification for 
ship-to-shore cranes entering under the exclusion. Annex E contains a 
list of HTSUS subheadings eligible for consideration of temporary 
exclusion under the machinery exclusion process.
    Any product listed in the Annexes to this notice, which is subject 
to the additional duties imposed by this determination, and that is 
admitted into a U.S. foreign trade zone, except any product that is 
eligible for admission under ``domestic status'' as defined in 19 CFR 
146.43, only may be admitted as ``privileged foreign status,'' as 
defined in 19 CFR 146.41, effective as of the date that the additional 
duties are imposed. Products of China that are provided for in headings 
9903.91.01, 9903.91.02, and 9903.91.03, and listed in subdivisions (b), 
(c) and (d), respectively, of U.S. note 31 to subchapter III of chapter 
99 of the HTSUS, as well as products of China that are provided for in 
HTSUS subheading 9903.92.10, which are admitted into a U.S. foreign 
trade zone on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 
27, 2024, only may be admitted as ``privileged foreign status.'' 
Products of China that are provided for in headings 9903.91.04 and 
9903.91.05, and listed in subdivisions (e) and (f) of U.S. note 31 to 
subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS that are admitted into a U.S. 
foreign trade zone on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on 
January 1, 2025, only may be admitted as ``privileged foreign status.'' 
Products of China that are provided for in headings 9903.91.06, 
9903.91.07, and 9903.91.08, and listed in subdivisions (g), (h) and 
(i), respectively, of U.S. note 31 to subchapter III of chapter 99 of 
the HTSUS that are admitted into a U.S. foreign trade zone on or after 
12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on January 1, 2026, only may be 
admitted as ``privileged foreign status.'' All such products will be 
subject upon entry for consumption to any ad valorem rates of duty or 
quantitative limitations related to the classification under the 
applicable HTSUS subheading.

D. USTR's Responses to Significant Comments

    As discussed above, in light of findings in USTR's Report, the U.S. 
Trade Representative recommended to the President that duties be added 
or increased on certain products in strategic sectors. The U.S. Trade 
Representative limited recommendations to the President to categories 
of products targeted by China for dominance and/or sectors where the 
U.S. recently made significant domestic investments, thus incentivizing 
China to eliminate the investigated acts, policies, and practices, and 
mitigating possible harm to the U.S. economy. The President agreed with 
the U.S. Trade Representative's recommendation and has exercised his 
authority to direct specific modifications to the actions being taken 
in the investigation.

Response to Significant Comments on Proposed Tariff Increases

    Battery Parts (Non-Lithium-ion Batteries): The President directed 
the U.S. Trade Representative to increase tariffs on battery parts for 
non-lithium-ion batteries to 25 percent in 2024. In response to the 
President's direction, the U.S. Trade Representative proposed 
increasing tariffs on one HTSUS subheading: 8507.90.40 (Parts of lead-
acid storage batteries, including separators therefor).
    The single comment on the proposed modification notes that broad 
tariffs have not significantly altered China's acts, policies, and 
practices and suggests that new U.S. initiatives, such as the Inflation 
Reduction Act would be more effective. Additionally, the comment notes 
that the proposed modifications will slow U.S. efforts to boost 
domestic production and adoption of electric vehicles.
    For the final determination, the U.S. Trade Representative has 
determined not to amend the proposed modification. As noted in USTR's 
Report, the proposed modifications complement the significant 
investments as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act and the 
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law into clean energy technology, clean 
energy supply chains, and clean energy manufacturing. Increasing 
section 301 duties on tariff lines covering certain sectors will help 
support these investments, encourage diversification away from Chinese 
sources, and provide additional leverage with China to eliminate the 
investigated acts, policies, and practices.
    Electric Vehicles: The President directed the U.S. Trade 
Representative to increase additional duties on electric

[[Page 76585]]

vehicles to 100 percent in 2024. In response to the President's 
direction, the U.S. Trade Representative proposed increasing duties on 
eight HTSUS subheadings.
    Some comments request that USTR narrow the scope of products 
covered by the eight subheadings by distinguishing between low-speed 
vehicles, such as passenger shuttles and mobility scooters, and higher 
speed passenger vehicles that operate on public roads and highways. 
While the comments urge the U.S. Trade Representative to distinguish 
between vehicles based on maximum speed or road readiness, the U.S. 
Trade Representative's proposal, consistent with Presidential 
direction, was intended to cover a wide range of electric motor 
vehicles that incorporate high-tech motors and batteries. The products 
included under the proposed subheadings meet the objective to target 
sophisticated technologies where China seeks dominance and where the 
individual products are part of the same continuum of products.
    One comment requests that electric buses that fulfill contracts 
executed prior to the proposed modification be excluded from the 
additional duties. Unlike with ship-to-shore cranes (discussed below), 
where multiple comments allege broad economic consequences, the single 
comment, when considering China's industrial policies targeting 
electric vehicles could threaten federal investment in the sector, does 
not demonstrate broad economic consequences such that an exclusion is 
warranted.
    Comments also request that USTR broaden the scope of products 
covered. One comment remarks that the proposed modifications do not 
adequately cover the full scope of products included in the President's 
direction because the proposal does not include motorcycles (including 
mopeds) and electric bicycles under HTSUS subheading 8711.60.00. 
Another comment asserts that the proposed modification should be 
expanded to include HTSUS subheading 8703.10.50 (golf carts and similar 
vehicles).
    With respect to motorcycles and electric bicycles, in reviewing the 
President's direction, the U.S. Trade Representative has determined 
that electric bicycles and motorcycles are distinct from what is 
traditionally understood as ``electric vehicles'' and fall outside the 
specific direction of the President. Similarly, electric golf carts and 
similar vehicles may be understood to fall outside the specific 
direction of the President. While these subheadings may include 
products with some overlapping technology to the subheadings covered, 
limiting the modification to the primary subheading covering 
traditional electric vehicles is most consistent with the President's 
direction.
    As a result of China's efforts to dominate the electric vehicles 
market, China now produces 70 percent of the world's electric cars--
jeopardizing productive investments elsewhere. The U.S. Trade 
Representative has determined that modification to increase the duties 
on electric vehicles will encourage diversification from Chinese 
sources, while also advancing U.S. policy to incentivize the 
development of, and investments in, a robust electric vehicle market, 
reducing exposure to China's technology transfer-related acts, 
policies, and practices, and providing additional leverage with China 
to eliminate the investigated acts, policies, and practices.
    Facemasks: The President directed the U.S. Trade Representative to 
increase tariffs on facemasks to no less than 25 percent in 2024. In 
response, the U.S. Trade Representative proposed three statistical 
reporting numbers. These included 6307.90.9845 (N95 Respirators of 
textiles); 6307.90.9850 (respirators of textiles, other than N95); and 
6307.90.9875 (face masks of textiles, other than disposable). USTR 
requested commenters to address whether additional statistical 
reporting codes under HTSUS subheading 6307.90.98 should be included 
and whether the tariff rates should be higher than the proposed 25 
percent rate.
    Several commenters note that as of January 1, 2023, statistical 
reporting number 6307.90.9845 (N95 Respirators of Textiles) was 
replaced with two statistical reporting numbers. For the final 
modifications, USTR has replaced statistical reporting number 
6307.90.9845 (N95 Respirators of Textiles) with statistical reporting 
numbers 6307.90.9842 (surgical N95 respirators) and 6307.90.9844 (other 
N95 respirators). This adjustment does not change the scope of the 
products covered.
    Other comments express concerns about the availability of facemasks 
outside of China and possible disruption to the supply of facemasks and 
higher costs for healthcare providers. As USTR found in the Report, 
increasing section 301 duties on certain personal protective equipment 
will help protect recent investments in increasing domestic production 
and in U.S. preparedness. As a result of those investments, the United 
States has, or is expected to have, sufficient domestic capacity. 
Several commenters agreed with this finding. Additionally, increasing 
tariffs on facemasks will encourage diversification away from China, 
improve supply chain resiliency, and create greater leverage with China 
to eliminate the investigated acts, policies, and practices.
    A number of comments suggest adding statistical reporting number 
6307.90.9870 (face masks of textile, disposable). Additional comments 
suggest adding textile subheadings that cover personal protective 
equipment, but not facemasks. Regarding the proposed tariff rate, 
several comments suggest rates higher than the proposed tariff rate, 
including 50 percent, 100 percent, and ``the highest rate possible.'' A 
few comments suggest that any rate increase be gradual due to possible 
limitations on availability outside of China.
    Considering the public comments, the advice of the Section 301 
Committee, and consistent with the President's direction, the U.S. 
Trade Representative has determined to add statistical reporting number 
6307.90.9870 (face masks of textile, disposable), but not to add 
additional textile subheadings that do not cover facemasks. 
Additionally, for most statistical reporting numbers, the U.S. Trade 
Representative has determined to increase tariff rates to 25 percent in 
2024 and to further increase rates in 2026 to 50 percent. Delaying the 
increase to 50 percent in 2026 is consistent with the President's 
direction, but balances requests for a rate higher than 25 percent with 
the public comments requesting that rates increase gradually. For 
statistical reporting number 6307.90.9870 (face masks of textile, 
disposable), the U.S. Trade Representative has determined to increase 
the tariff rate to 25 percent in 2025 and to further increase the rate 
in 2026 to 50 percent.
    Lithium-ion Batteries: The President directed the U.S. Trade 
Representative to increase tariffs on lithium-ion batteries to 25 
percent, with ``lithium-ion electrical vehicle batteries'' increasing 
in 2024 and ``lithium-ion non-electrical vehicle batteries'' increasing 
in 2026. In response, the U.S. Trade Representative proposed increasing 
tariffs on two statistical reporting numbers. One covers lithium-ion 
batteries for passenger vehicles (8507.60.0010), and a second covers 
lithium-ion batteries for a broad range of applications, including 
electric vehicles, other than passenger vehicles (8507.60.0020). The 
U.S. Trade Representative proposed increasing tariffs on 8507.60.0010 
(Lithium-ion batteries of a kind used as the primary source of 
electrical power for electrically powered vehicles of

[[Page 76586]]

subheadings 8703.40, 8703.50, 8703.60, 8703.70 or 8703.80) in 2024 and 
on 8507.60.0020 (Lithium-ion batteries: Other) in 2026.
    Several commenters request that additional codes be added, 
including for a subheading covering certain inputs or precursor 
materials used to manufacture lithium-ion batteries. Additionally, USTR 
received comments requesting that certain lithium-ion batteries covered 
by the proposed subheadings, but intended for a particular use, be 
excluded.
    The U.S. Trade Representative has determined that the requests to 
remove particular batteries are inconsistent with the President's 
direction, which broadly covers all lithium-ion batteries, and are 
inconsistent with the goals of diversifying supply chains and of 
reducing our reliance on China in an industry targeted by China for 
dominance. With respect to the inputs and precursor materials used in 
the production of lithium-ion batteries, these products are beyond the 
scope of the President's direction, which is limited to complete 
batteries.
    Medical Gloves: The President directed the U.S. Trade 
Representative to increase tariffs on medical gloves to no less than 25 
percent in 2026. In response, the U.S. Trade Representative proposed 
increasing tariffs to 25 percent in 2026 on one statistical reporting 
number.
    Comments opposing the proposed modification allege that increasing 
duties on medical gloves will raise medical care costs and impact 
patient care. Additional comments request that the increase in tariffs 
be delayed. Comments generally assert that the production of medical 
gloves is centralized in China and Malaysia, and that additional duties 
would push production to Malaysia, rather than to the United States. 
They also assert there is no large-scale domestic production capacity 
for nitrile gloves, specifically citing a January 2024 Made in America 
Act Waiver statement by Federal agencies concerning domestic 
availability of nitrile gloves.
    In general, comments supporting the proposed modification suggest 
that, given the artificially low prices of imports from China, the 
modification would be more effective if tariffs rates were increased to 
100 percent or higher, increased prior to 2026, and possibly increased 
gradually. One comment also suggested including gloves falling under 
HTSUS 4015.19 that are not for medical or surgical use.
    Considering the public comments, the specific direction of the 
President to increase tariffs on medical gloves no less than 25 percent 
in 2026, and the advice of the Section 301 Committee, particularly 
agencies involved in U.S. medical preparedness, the U.S. Trade 
Representative has determined to increase the rate of additional duties 
on medical gloves to 50 percent in 2025 and to 100 percent in 2026.
    The United States expects domestic production of nitrile gloves 
will increase over the next year, due in part to domestic investments 
for critical medical supplies, including medical gloves. Recent 
investments include CARES Act funding that aims to continue support of 
U.S. preparedness and of domestic production of critical medical 
supplies following the COVID pandemic. Increasing tariffs to 50 percent 
in 2025 will help protect those investments and will encourage 
diversification to sources other than China. While China currently 
accounts for a significant share of U.S. imports of nitrile gloves, the 
increasing availability from U.S. sources and third-country sources 
will provide the U.S. healthcare systems with alternative sourcing. An 
additional increase in tariff rates in 2026 is warranted, considering 
the expected increase in U.S. and third-country sources, and is 
responsive to those comments requesting a higher tariff, and will 
provide additional leverage with China to eliminate the investigated 
acts, policies, and practices.
    With respect to additional gloves that are not for medical or 
surgical use, these products are beyond the scope of the President's 
direction, which is limited to medical gloves. Accordingly, the U.S. 
Trade Representative has determined not to amend the proposed 
modification to include these products.
    Natural Graphite: The President directed the U.S. Trade 
Representative to increase tariffs on natural graphite to 25 percent in 
2026. In response to the President's direction, the U.S. Trade 
Representative proposed to increase tariffs on three subheadings 
covering three different forms of natural graphite.
    Most comments supported the proposed increase in tariffs, with some 
comments requesting a higher tariff rate than the proposed rate. 
Several of these comments also requested that certain additional inputs 
for lithium-ion batteries be included and treated similarly to natural 
graphite. The few comments opposing the additional duties generally 
assert that the proposed modifications would result in higher prices, 
would not be effective in obtaining the elimination of China's acts, 
policies, and practices, and could result in possible retaliation from 
China. China has targeted the processing of critical minerals to become 
the global leader in the critical minerals supply chains. Continued 
reliance on China for refining capacity of critical minerals, including 
natural graphite, leaves U.S. supply chains vulnerable and puts U.S. 
national security and clean energy goals at risk. Increasing the 
tariffs on natural graphite would encourage diversification away from 
China and would provide additional leverage with China to eliminate the 
investigated acts, policies, and practices. Tariffs would also protect 
U.S. investments in a sufficient domestic industrial base for natural 
graphite and would improve the resiliency of the U.S. battery supply 
chain.
    For these reasons, and considering the President's direction, and 
the advice of the Section 301 Committee, the U.S. Trade Representative 
has determined not to amend the proposed modifications.
    Other Critical Minerals: The President directed the U.S. Trade 
Representative to increase tariffs on certain critical minerals to 25 
percent in 2024. In response to the President's direction, the U.S. 
Trade Representative proposed increasing tariffs on 26 subheadings.
    The majority of comments opposing increases specifically oppose 
increasing tariffs on 2606.00.00 (aluminum ores and concentrates) and 
2849.90.30 (tungsten carbides). They assert limited availability of the 
minerals outside of China and higher costs. Other comments suggest the 
removal of five additional subheadings. Only three of these subheadings 
received more than one comment requesting removal: 8103.20.00 
(Tantalum, unwrought (including bars and rods obtained simply by 
sintering); tantalum powders); 8112.21.00 (Chromium, unwrought; 
chromium powders); and 8112.92.30 (Indium, unwrought; indium powders).
    The majority of comments supporting the proposed modifications 
specifically support increasing tariffs on the four subheadings 
covering tungsten products. These comments state that tariffs on 
various tungsten-related inputs will benefit domestic manufacturing by 
reducing domestic reliance on Chinese imports, establishing an 
independent domestic supply chain, and reducing Chinese access to the 
intellectual property and technologies of U.S. companies. Several 
comments emphasize the importance of tungsten-related inputs to various 
critical sectors, such as aerospace, automotive, defense, medical, and 
oil and gas sectors. Some of these comments request that the tariffs on 
tungsten-related products be increased to 50 percent.

[[Page 76587]]

    The remaining comments supporting higher tariffs cover various 
critical minerals; most support the higher tariffs to counteract 
China's dominance in the market and note that current tariff levels are 
insufficient. Most of these comments also note that higher tariffs will 
have a minimal impact on the domestic economy due to current 
availability of products from sources outside of China or availability 
from new sources. Comments also note that higher tariffs are critical 
to the new investments that help to diversify supply chains.
    In addition to supporting the proposed modifications, several 
comments also request that additional subheadings be added, including 
three subheadings covering additional tungsten products. Additional 
comments request the addition of certain uranium subheadings, as well 
as a subheading covering vanadium chlorides.
    Considering the public comments and the advice of the Section 301 
Committee, the U.S. Trade Representative has determined not to remove 
any subheadings. China has targeted the processing of critical minerals 
to become the global leader in the critical minerals supply chains for 
electric vehicle batteries, solar products, semiconductors, and other 
key products. The concentration of critical minerals mining and 
refining capacity in China leaves our supply chains vulnerable and puts 
our national security and clean energy goals at risk. Additionally, for 
many of the products with comments requesting removal, U.S. import data 
show that in recent years China has attempted to dominate supply chains 
by significantly increasing its share of imports. For these products, 
additional duties will help to maintain existing diversity in the 
supply chains and increase leverage with China to eliminate the 
investigated acts, policies, and practices. Regarding 2606.00.00 
(aluminum ores and concentrates), U.S. import data show that China's 
share is relatively small (less than 20 percent). While China's share 
of imports under statistical reporting number 2606.00.00.30 (bauxite, 
calcined: refractory grade) is more significant, Guyana, a second 
source, is almost as large as China, and higher tariffs may help to 
encourage greater diversification. Regarding 2849.90.30 (tungsten 
carbides), imports from China have increased significantly in recent 
years, but alternative sources remain. Increasing tariffs will support 
current supply chain diversity. Additionally, public comments note 
recent investments in domestic refining.
    The U.S. Trade Representative also has determined not to add 
certain proposed subheadings for uranium and vanadium chlorides. These 
subheadings are either already subject to section 301 tariffs of 25 
percent, or China's share of imports is small and declining. Regarding 
the three tariff subheadings covering tungsten products and requested 
for addition, the U.S. Trade Representative has determined to propose 
increasing tariff rates for these three subheadings to 25 percent. To 
that end, USTR will publish a separate notice with procedures for 
interested parties to provide views on increasing tariffs on 
subheadings: 8101.94.00 (Tungsten, unwrought (including bars and rods 
obtained simply by sintering)); 8101.99.10 (Tungsten bars and rods (o/
than those obtained simply by sintering), profiles, plates, sheets, 
strip and foil); and 8101.99.80 (Tungsten, articles nesoi).
    Permanent Magnets: The President directed the U.S. Trade 
Representative to impose tariffs of 25 percent on permanent magnets in 
2026. In response to the President's direction, the U.S. Trade 
Representative proposed additional duties on products under one 
subheading (8505.11.00).
    Several comments request that tariffs on permanent magnets not be 
increased, noting that permanent magnets are an intermediate good used 
in a variety of applications and products, including consumer goods. 
Citing a Department of Commerce report from 2023, comments assert 
limited availability of permanent magnets outside of China, including 
from domestic sources.
    Comments in support of the proposed modification highlight the 
vulnerability of the U.S. economy and national security as a result of 
our continued reliance on China for permanent magnets, and in 
particular NdFeB, which are critical for electric vehicle motors (an 
area where China seeks dominance), as well as defense applications. The 
comments assert that the potential impact on U.S. consumers from the 
proposed modification would be minimal, as permanent magnets generally 
account for a low percentage of the total cost of final goods.
    Considering the comments and the advice of the Section 301 
Committee, and consistent with the President's direction, the U.S. 
Trade Representative has determined to impose additional tariffs on 
products falling under subheading 8505.11.00. The 2023 Department of 
Commerce report indicates that at the time of the report the demand for 
permanent magnets outpaced domestic manufacturing capacity, but the 
report also notes federal investments and other efforts in support of 
reestablishing domestic production capacity, as well as plans for three 
U.S.-headquartered firms to establish U.S. NdFeB magnet manufacturing 
facilities by 2026. Increasing tariffs on permanent magnets in 2026 
accounts for the current limited availability of permanent magnets 
outside of China, complements the upcoming investments in domestic 
production, and further encourages domestic investments.
    Semiconductors: The President directed the U.S. Trade 
Representative to increase tariffs on semiconductors to 50 percent in 
2025. In response to the President's direction, the U.S. Trade 
Representative proposed increasing tariffs on 16 subheadings.
    Several comments highlight the importance of semiconductors in a 
variety applications and critical sectors, including the healthcare and 
solar industries. Comments note that following the enactment of the 
Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) and 
Science Act in 2022, the United States has made progress in investing 
in domestic production and in recapturing semiconductor manufacturing 
from China's dominance. Comments also assert that imports from China 
undermine that progress and the incentives under the CHIPS Act. 
Comments assert that the tariffs have helped to stimulate domestic 
manufacturing, support supply chain resiliency, and reduce our 
dependence on China. One comment suggests broadening the modifications 
to capture semiconductors entering the United States in downstream 
products.
    Comments opposing the increase in tariffs on semiconductors 
primarily comment on the financial impact of the tariffs on U.S. 
companies and the U.S. economy. These commenters assert that the 
increased duties will increase domestic manufacturing costs, will be 
passed on to consumers, will contribute to domestic inflation, and will 
reduce the competitiveness of U.S. products in the global market. 
Comments also state that increased manufacturing costs may encourage 
U.S. companies to move manufacturing out of the United States to third 
countries.
    Aside from advocating for the removal of the tariffs, comments 
opposing the tariffs also propose several alternatives to increased 
duties. One commenter argues that an effective alternative to the 
tariffs would be bilateral policy discussions between the United States 
and China. Another commenter suggests additional programs that 
strengthen domestic manufacturing, such as under

[[Page 76588]]

the CHIPS and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, would be 
more effective than imposing higher tariffs. Alternatively, the same 
commenter suggests a longer transition time to allow for additional 
manufacturing, noting that CHIPS funding has yet to be fully disbursed 
and it may take several years before domestic semiconductors will be 
available. Some comments request the removal of certain subheadings. 
They generally assert that the tariffs would increase prices and harm 
domestic manufacturing. One comment asserts that the tariffs are 
counterproductive to the Administration's goals to increase domestic 
production of electric vehicles.
    Considering the public comments, the advice of the Section 301 
Committee, and consistent with the direction of the President, the U.S. 
Trade Representative has determined that excluding particular products 
or subheadings is not warranted. China has targeted the semiconductor 
sector for dominance and is rapidly expanding its capacity, 
particularly for foundational semiconductors. Through the CHIPS and 
Science Act, the United States is making a nearly $53 billion 
investment in American semiconductor manufacturing capacity, research, 
innovation, and workforce. This investment will encourage 
diversification to alternative sources, providing additional leverage 
with China to eliminate the investigated acts, policies, and practices, 
and will help counteract decades of disinvestment and offshoring that 
has reduced the United States' capacity to manufacture semiconductors 
domestically. Raising the tariff rate on semiconductors is an important 
initial step to complement the sustainability of these investments. 
Accordingly, the U.S. Trade Representative has determined to increase 
tariffs on the 16 proposed subheadings.
    Ship-to-shore cranes: The President directed the U.S. Trade 
Representative to increase tariffs on ship-to-shore cranes to 25 
percent in 2024. In response to the President's direction, the U.S. 
Trade Representative proposed increasing tariffs on certain ship-to-
shore cranes (transporter cranes, gantry cranes, and bridge cranes) 
under subheading 8426.19.00.
    In addressing the effectiveness and impact of the proposed tariff 
increase, a number of commenters assert that because the lead time for 
purchasing ship-to-shore cranes is often more than two years, the 
additional duties would increase costs significantly on purchases 
contracted for well before the proposed modification. Additionally, due 
to purchase contracts, the increased tariffs would not be effective in 
obtaining the elimination of, or in counteracting China's acts, 
policies, and practices and would broadly impact U.S. ports and the 
U.S. economy. The majority of comments suggest delaying the additional 
duties until 2026 to allow cranes under contracts executed prior to the 
announced proposed modifications to enter without the section 301 
duties.
    Considering the possible broad economic impact discussed in the 
comments, and consistent with the President's direction, the U.S. Trade 
Representative has determined to increase duties on ship-to-shore 
cranes in 2024, but will allow for exclusions for cranes that fulfill 
contracts executed prior to May 14, 2024, and that enter the United 
States prior to May 14, 2026. The exclusion balances the possible 
impact on the U.S. economy with the security interests of the United 
States from the threat of Chinese state-sponsored cyber intrusions of 
critical infrastructure.
    Ship-to-shore gantry cranes, configured as a high- or low-profile 
steel superstructure and designed to unload intermodal containers from 
vessels with coupling devices for containers, including spreaders or 
twist-locks (provided for in subheadings 8426.19.00), will be exempt, 
provided: (1) they are fulfilling in whole or in part an executed 
contract for sale dated prior to May 14, 2024, for goods that are 
entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, 
in the United States prior to May 14, 2026, and (2) the importer 
completes the certification in Annex D to this notice and provides the 
completed certification as part of the importer's electronic entry 
summary to U.S. Customs and Border Protection by uploading it to the 
Document Imaging System in the Automated Commercial Environment at the 
time that classification is declared under heading 9903.91.09 of the 
HTSUS.
    Solar Cells (whether or not assembled into modules): The President 
directed the U.S. Trade Representative to increase tariffs on solar 
cells to 50 percent in 2024. In response to the President's direction, 
the U.S. Trade Representative proposed increasing tariffs on two 
subheadings.
    Comments supporting the tariff increases assert that the tariffs 
are critical to counter China's unfair policies and practices that 
target the solar industry. They note that China has invested in the 
long-term dominance of the global solar supply chain, which has 
resulted in limited alternatives and increasing dependence on Chinese 
suppliers. The comments assert that increasing the tariffs will allow 
the burgeoning domestic industry to compete, creating a more resilient 
domestic supply chain, improving U.S. energy security, and promoting 
clean energy initiatives.
    Comments also note that initiatives, such as the Inflation 
Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act, provide critical 
incentives to the shift solar supply chains to the United States, but 
these incentives are threatened by solar imports from China. Two 
comments suggest that additional subheadings be added to cover certain 
inputs used in manufacturing solar cells. The two subheadings are: 
2804.61.00 (Silicon containing by weight not less than 99.99 percent of 
silicon); and 3818.00.00 (Chemical elements doped for use in 
electronics, in the form of discs, wafers etc., chemical compounds 
doped for electronic use).
    There were no comments opposing the proposed subheading, but one 
comment requested that a statistical reporting number under one of the 
subheadings be excluded (8541.43.0010). The commenter asserts that the 
products covered by the statistical reporting number should be excluded 
because they are not the subject of technology-transfer agreements and 
increasing the tariffs will result in higher prices.
    Considering the comments, and the advice of Section 301 Committee, 
and consistent with the direction of the President to increase tariffs 
on solar cells (whether or not assembled into modules), the U.S. Trade 
Representative has determined that removing statistical reporting 
number 8541.43.0010 is not warranted merely because it has not been 
subject to China's acts, policies, and practices or may result in 
higher prices. See section 301(c)(3)(B) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 
2411(c)(3)(B)).
    Regarding the request to add subheadings 2804.61.00 and 3818.00.00, 
the U.S. Trade Representative has determined to propose increasing 
tariff rates for these two subheadings to 50 percent. The polysilicon 
and wafers that are imported under these two subheadings are critical 
for manufacturing solar cells and semiconductors. As noted in USTR's 
Report, China now dominates manufacturing capacity for polysilicon and 
wafers, accounting for 93 percent of polysilicon manufacturing capacity 
and 95 percent of wafer capacity. China's dominance in the 
manufacturing of wafers and polysilicon is likely to undermine new 
investments in domestic manufacturing, impede the resiliency of U.S. 
supply chains for solar

[[Page 76589]]

cells and semiconductors, and undermine the effectiveness of the 
tariffs on solar cells and semiconductors. Accordingly, USTR will 
publish a separate notice with procedures for interested parties to 
provide views on increasing tariffs on subheadings: 2804.61.00 (Silicon 
containing by weight not less than 99.99 percent of silicon); and 
3818.00.00 (Chemical elements doped for use in electronics, in the form 
of discs, wafers etc., chemical compounds doped for electronic use).
    Increasing tariffs on the two proposed subheadings will encourage 
the diversification of supply chains and will lessen dependence on 
China for these products, providing additional leverage with China to 
eliminate the investigated acts, policies, and practices. The tariffs 
also complement other Administration goals that seek to defend the 
United States against China's policy-driven non-market excess capacity, 
which has led to extreme concentration of production in China and 
underpriced exports. Accordingly, the U.S. Trade Representative has 
determined to increase tariffs on the two proposed subheadings.
    Steel and Aluminum: The President directed the U.S. Trade 
Representative to increase tariffs on steel and aluminum products to 25 
percent in 2024. In response to the President's direction, the U.S. 
Trade Representative proposed increasing or adding tariffs on 321 steel 
and aluminum subheadings in 2024.
    The 321 subheadings are within the scope of products subject to 
additional duties under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, 
as amended, but are not currently subject to 25 percent duties under 
section 301. Increasing or adding duties to these 321 subheadings would 
make nearly all of the steel and aluminum subheadings that are within 
the scope of the section 232 investigations of steel and aluminum 
subject to 25 percent duties under section 301and will reduce 
opportunities for circumvention, making the actions more effective. 
USTR did not propose adding or increasing section 301 duties on 17 
subheadings within the scope of products covered by section 232. Data 
from the Department of Commerce's section 232 exclusion process show 
that a majority of exclusions requested for products under the 17 
subheadings were granted, and there is limited availability for the 
products outside of China.
    Several commenters suggest USTR include additional tariff codes 
covering upstream and downstream products related to steel and 
aluminum, but outside the scope of the section 232 investigations. The 
U.S. Trade Representative has determined not to add subheadings outside 
the scope of the section 232 investigations on steel and aluminum and 
has determined that it is appropriate to use the same scope of products 
covered by the section 232 investigations that were defined by 
Presidential proclamation. See Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 
(Adjusting Import of Aluminum into the United States), and Proclamation 
9705 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Steel into the United 
States).
    Some commenters suggest USTR include the 17 subheadings covered by 
the section 232 investigations that were not proposed for tariff 
increases. Under the Department of Commerce's exclusion process for 
section 232 products, products are granted exclusion either where they 
are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably 
available amounts, or where there is a specific national security 
consideration. As noted above, for products under these 17 subheadings, 
Commerce granted exclusions, and data indicates that these products 
have limited availability outside of China. Accordingly, the U.S. Trade 
Representative has determined that it would not be appropriate to 
increase tariffs on these 17 subheadings.
    Syringes and needles: The President directed the U.S. Trade 
Representative to increase tariffs on syringes and needles to no less 
than 50 percent. In response to the President's direction, the U.S. 
Trade Representative proposed increasing tariffs on two subheadings. 
USTR requested commenters to address whether the tariff rate should be 
higher than the proposed rate.
    Regarding the proposed rate, several comments suggest that higher 
rates would help support domestic manufacturing and recommended rates 
as high as 100 percent. Most comments opposing the proposed increase 
simply note that prices would likely increase. However, a large number 
of comments report a limited availability of enteral syringes outside 
of China and assert that the proposed increase would impact the supply 
of enteral syringes, which are necessary for vulnerable patients. These 
comments request that enteral syringes be excluded.
    Considering the comments and the advice of Section 301 Committee, 
and recognizing that syringes and needles are critical to U.S. 
preparedness in responding to public health emergencies and the need to 
maintain alternative sources, consistent with the President's 
direction, the U.S. Trade Representative has determined to increase 
tariffs on syringes and needles under the two subheadings to 100 
percent in 2024. To address the possible shortages of enteral syringes, 
the U.S. Trade Representative has determined to exclude enteral 
syringes through January 1, 2026.

USTR's Response to Significant Comments on Machinery Exclusion Process

    The President directed the U.S. Trade Representative to establish a 
process by which interested persons may request that particular 
machinery used in domestic manufacturing classified within a subheading 
under Chapters 84 and 85 of the HTSUS be temporarily excluded from 
section 301 tariffs, and to prioritize, in particular, exclusions for 
certain solar manufacturing. In response to the President's direction, 
the U.S. Trade Representative proposed 312 subheadings eligible for 
consideration of temporary exclusion, and proposed 19 temporary 
exclusions for solar manufacturing equipment.
    Chapters 84 and 85 of the HTSUS cover most machinery used in 
manufacturing processes. The 312 subheadings proposed, include machines 
used to physically alter a good in the manufacturing process. The 
limited scope of the exclusion process strikes a balance between 
mitigating U.S. companies' costs in expanding domestic production 
capacity while maintaining the appropriate amount of leverage with 
China to encourage China to eliminate the acts, policies, and practices 
that are the subject of the investigation.
    In response to USTR's request for comments on whether the 312 
subheadings proposed should or should not be eligible in the machinery 
exclusion process and whether certain subheading under Chapters 84 and 
85 that cover machinery used in domestic manufacturing were omitted and 
should be included, USTR received more than 650 comments, with 
approximately half of the comments proposing additional subheadings 
under Chapters 84 and 85. The remaining comments either opposed 
including certain subheadings, supported proposed subheadings, or 
proposed subheadings not under Chapters 84 and 85.
    Considering the comments, and the advice of the Section 301 
Committee, and consistent with the direction of the President, the U.S. 
Trade Representative has determined to add five additional subheadings 
to be eligible for consideration of temporary exclusions. These five 
subheadings are: 8421.21.00 (Machinery and apparatus for filtering or 
purifying water); 8421.29.00 (Filtering or purifying machinery and

[[Page 76590]]

apparatus for liquids, nesoi); 8421.39.01 (Filtering or purifying 
machinery and apparatus for gases, other than intake air filters or 
catalytic conv. for internal combustion engines); 8428.70.00 
(Industrial robots); and 8443.19.30 (Printing machinery, nesoi). These 
subheadings appear to include machinery used to physically alter goods 
in the manufacturing process.
    Consistent with the President's direction, the U.S. Trade 
Representative has determined not to add subheadings outside of 
Chapters 84 and 85 or subheadings that only include parts, accessories, 
consumables, or general equipment that is unable to physically change a 
good. Additionally, the U.S. Trade Representative has determined not to 
remove any of the proposed subheadings. Comments requesting that 
subheadings be removed generally assert that machines covered by the 
subheading were available from sources outside of China. Under the 
exclusion process, commenters both supporting and opposing particular 
exclusions for machines under any of these subheadings will have an 
opportunity to provide their views. This will provide USTR with greater 
opportunity to gather more specific information about the machinery 
requested for exclusion, including the availability of products outside 
of China.

Nineteen Proposed Solar Manufacturing Equipment Exclusions

    The President directed the U.S. Trade Representative to prioritize 
exclusions for certain solar manufacturing equipment. In response to 
the President's direction, the U.S. Trade Representative proposed 19 
exclusions covering solar manufacturing equipment. The exclusions 
included five exclusions for equipment to manufacture solar modules, 
six exclusions for equipment to manufacture solar cells, and eight 
exclusions for equipment to manufacture solar wafers.
    USTR received several comments requesting that the exclusions for 
solar manufacturing equipment be made effective prior to May 28, 2024. 
USTR received a number of comments opposing the exclusions based on the 
assertion that certain equipment is available from alternative sources. 
Specifically, with respect to the five exclusions for solar module 
manufacturing equipment and the six exclusions for solar cell 
manufacturing equipment, a number of comments assert that alternative 
sources for the machinery are available, both domestically and in 
Europe. Several comments noted that excluding Chinese equipment would 
disincentivize companies to purchase from alternative sources and 
negatively impact burgeoning supply chains. Comments supporting the 
exclusions focus primarily on Chinese equipment being low-cost 
equipment, but some also assert that China is the only source for most 
solar equipment.
    Considering the public comments, the specific direction of the 
President to prioritize exclusions for solar equipment, and the advice 
of the Section 301 Committee, particularly agencies involved in efforts 
to build capacity for domestic production of solar products, the U.S. 
Trade Representative has determined not to adopt the five exclusions 
covering solar manufacturing equipment for modules. Available 
information indicates that there is sufficient availability of the 
products covered by the exclusions outside of China, such that the 
exclusions are not warranted and could harm alternative sourcing 
currently available.
    Regarding proposals to temporarily exclude wafer and cell 
manufacturing equipment, the U.S. Trade Representative has determined 
to adopt the 14 exclusions for this manufacturing equipment. There is 
limited information regarding the availability and pricing of the cell 
manufacturing equipment covered by these exclusions outside of China, 
but some of the risks of granting the exclusions are mitigated by the 
short prospective duration of the exclusions. The exclusion period will 
allow for the development of strategies to reduce U.S. reliance on 
Chinese cell manufacturing equipment, and for greater supply chain 
resilience and enhanced domestic manufacturing more generally. 
Regarding the wafer manufacturing equipment, available information 
indicates that alternative sources do not currently have sufficient 
supply of the equipment covered by these exclusions. Regarding requests 
for a longer retroactive period for the exclusions for solar 
manufacturing equipment, the U.S. Trade Representative has determined 
to make the exclusions effective January 1, 2024, and through May 31, 
2025. The additional time will support those investments in domestic 
production that were made in 2024, but prior to USTR's announced 
proposals. With the goal of reducing reliance on China, and to ensure 
that imports under the exclusions support both greater domestic 
production of solar products and supply chain resilience, USTR will 
actively monitor imports under the 14 temporary exclusions. 
Additionally, based on the public comments, the U.S. Trade 
Representative has made certain amendments to the proposed product 
descriptions for the exclusions. The final product descriptions for the 
adopted exclusions are included in Annex B of this notice.
    The U.S. Trade Representative will continue to consider the actions 
taken in this investigation. In the event that further modifications 
are appropriate, the U.S. Trade Representative intends to take into 
account the extensive public comments provided in response to the May 
28 notice.
