The Trump Administration is threatening to impose tariffs on $11 billion worth of goods imported from the European Union as early as this summer in response to a long-running dispute over aircraft subsidies. The matter is currently under review by a World Trade Organization (WTO) arbitrator, who will determine the amount of countermeasures that the U.S. will be authorized to impose against the EU for its failure to withdraw subsidized financing to Airbus, which was previously found to be inconsistent with WTO rules and harmful to U.S. interests. The WTO arbitrator is expected to issue its final decision this summer.
In the meantime, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) has published a preliminary list of Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) Codes, that may be subject to Section 301 duties, to enable the U.S. to “respond immediately” once the decision is announced. The list includes not only products in the aerospace sector, but also to a wide range of consumer goods, including food and beverages, textiles, apparel, handbags, kitchenware, tools, and other items.
The USTR has not yet announce the amount of additional duties that would be applied, but proposed that “appropriate action would include the imposition of additional ad valorem duties of up to 100 percent on products of the EU or certain member States, to be drawn from the preliminary list of HTS numbers . . . .”
Important Information for Importers
The USTR is seeking public comment on the proposed retaliation, including products that should be removed, retained, or added; what the tariffs should be; and the possible negative affects higher tariffs might have on U.S. stakeholders, including small businesses and consumers.
Key Dates
| May 6, 2019 | Requests to appear at the public hearing are due, including a summary of testimony |
| May 15, 2019 | Public hearing convened by the Section 301 Committee |
| May 28, 2019 | Due date for the submission of written comments, including post-hearing rebuttal comments |
Importers of goods affected by the list should accelerate their efforts to mitigate the impact of any potential tariff increase by working to have their products removed from the final list.
Proposed List of Section 301 Duties for EU Products
The proposed Section 301 list includes two sections.
- Section 1 applies to a short list of HTS codes for products in the aerospace sector from France, Germany, Spain or the United Kingdom only.
