Conforming amendment to a China Section 301 product exclusion: U.S. note 20(vvv)(i)(20) described under statistical reporting number 8479.90.9591 from July 1, 2026 (coverage maintained, no rate change)
Following the USITC's July 1, 2026 changes to ten-digit HTSUS statistical reporting categories (under 19 U.S.C. 1484(f)), five China Section 301 product exclusions were affected; four were corrected by USTR on September 2, 2026 (91 FR 56538). This notice (91 FR 64211) makes the final conforming amendment: U.S. note 20(vvv)(i)(20) to subchapter III of chapter 99 is modified by inserting "through June 30, 2026; described in statistical reporting number 8479.90.9591 effective July 1, 2026" after "January 27, 2022" — i.e., from July 1, 2026 the covered product is described under the new statistical reporting number 8479.90.9591. This is a technical amendment to maintain the pre-existing exclusion coverage: the exclusion continues to bar the additional Section 301 duties, and no rate is added or raised. Retroactive to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. EST July 1, 2026; CBP will issue entry guidance.
