Court Upholds Section 301 Tariffs On China

Last week, a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of International Trade upheld Section 301 tariffs on China, rejecting a massive lawsuit filed on behalf of 3,600 importers. The Court found that the U.S. Trade Representative supplied the needed explanation to support imposing the tariffs. This means that the additional 25% tariffs on hardwood plywood and multilayered wood flooring imported from China will remain in place. The U.S. Trade Representative is still conducting its legally required four-year review.
