Public Hearings on Proposed China Tariff List

Toronto, June 18, 2019

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) will hold public hearings from June 17 to June 21, 2019 and, next week, from June 24 to June 25, 2019, regarding proposed tariffs on approximately $300 billion worth of Chinese products.

The hearings are taking place at the U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436.

The proposed tariffs are a supplemental action in response to China's unfair trade practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation, based on the findings in USTR's investigation of China under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.

The list of hearing dates and scheduled witnesses can be viewed here.
