It’s official: The Biden administration has completed its long-awaited review of “Section 301” tariffs on Chinese goods, and is moving to increase rates on a number of products in critical sectors.
U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai will be charged with implementing the increased tariff rates, which she said in a statement are in response to “China’s unfair technology transfer-related policies and practices that continue to burden U.S. commerce and harm American workers and businesses.” The Office of the USTR also released a 193-page report diving into the findings of its required review of the tariffs, which were originally put into place under the Trump administration.
