International Trade and Customs
Author: Susan Kohn Ross As has been widely reported, on Friday, first President Trump announced and then USTR Lighthizer confirmed the 301 tariffs on goods out of China will increase. Specifically, the tariffs on the goods on Lists 1, 2 and 3 will rise from 25% to 30% starting October 1, 2019, while the tariffs on the List 4 products will start at 15% on September 1, 2019 or December 15, 2019, rather than the original 10%, depending on whether your product is on List 4A or List 4B. |
Today, the Transportation Security Administration is launching a new initiative concerning its approach to enforcement known as the Action Plan Program. Businesses involved in the air-cargo industry, such as Indirect Air Carriers and Certified Cargo Screening Facilities, have always faced the risk of significant civil penalties assessed by TSA for noncompliance with the agency’s regulations and rules. While businesses could voluntarily disclose violations in hopes of avoiding penalties, the process for doing so was not always straightforward, leaving many confused about the proper way to engage with TSA when such issues arose. |

Author: Susan Kohn Ross As has been repeatedly mentioned in the general press, President Trump tweeted on August 1st that the U.S. “will start, on September 1st, putting a small additional Tariff of 10% on the remaining 300 Billion Dollars of goods and products coming from China into our Country.” There are lots of questions about what that short message actually means, and right now, no answers. So far, there is no official notice from the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) for publication in the Federal Register. |
