In September, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced that the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill Act is effective for over 1600 products entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after Oct. 13 and will remain in effect through Dec. 31, 2020. Additionally, according to CBP approximately half of these items are subject to the China 301 additional tariff. CBP states that while such products can benefit from the Miscellaneous Trade Bill, they remain subject to the 25% duty imposed from the Section 301 additional tariff requirement.
