Section 301 Action: China Technology Transfer, IP, and Innovation
Current understanding
USTR’s Section 301 action against China’s acts, policies, and practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation imposes additional tariffs across broad categories of Chinese-origin goods (the ‘List 1–4’ tariff architecture originally established in 2018–2019). Following the statutory four-year review requested by domestic industries, USTR determined the two tariff actions will continue in effect, keeping the regime in force without new measures or modifications in this notice.
