USTR Implements Truce Extension: All 178 Section 301 Exclusions and Maritime Fee Suspension Run to January 2027
In notices dated November 6, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative extended all 178 Section 301 tariff exclusions, 164 general product exclusions and 14 for solar manufacturing equipment, to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on January 9, 2027. The same notices extended the Section 301 suspension of maritime and port fees, including duties on ship-to-shore cranes, formally putting the two-month extension of the U.S.-China trade truce into effect on the American side.
China announced matching steps on November 9: the suspension of its additional 24 percent tariff on U.S. goods is extended for two more months from November 10, with the 10 percent rate kept in force; measures under the unreliable-entity list and export-control list are paused for two months; countermeasures against five U.S. subsidiaries of Hanwha Ocean are paused for two months; and the transport ministry's suspension of port fees on U.S. vessels runs to January 10, 2027. The two timelines dovetail, carrying the truce into early January 2027.
The extension follows the trade consensus reached at the two presidents' meeting. With exclusions and fee suspensions now in force on both sides, companies will keep clearing goods at current rates until January 9, pushing any tariff escalation risk into the new year at the earliest.
