The Office of the United States Trade Representative has released clarification regarding which List 3 Tariff duty rate will apply depending on the departure date and arrival date at the ocean Port of Discharge.
Shipments which departed prior to May 10, 2019 and arrive at the ocean Port of Discharge prior to June 15, 2019 are eligible for 10% duty rate. All other shipments impacted by List 3 that do not meet BOTH of these conditions will be subject to the 25% duty rate.
In summary see the following flowchart to determine which duty will apply on List 3 impacted shipments:
Did the shipment depart prior to May 10, 2019?
- If No – Duty rate is 25%
- If Yes – Did the shipment arrive at the ocean Port of Discharge prior to June 15, 2019?
- If No – Duty rate is 25%
- If Yes – Duty rate is 10%
