On June 13, 2019, the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) published in the Federal Register a notice of product exclusions [Docket No. USTR–2018–0001] from the safeguard measure on imports of certain solar products imposed on January 23, 2018, by the President imposed pursuant to a Section 201 investigation. On February 14, 2018, USTR established a procedure to request product-specific exclusions from application of the safeguard measure. On September 19, 2018, USTR granted certain of those exclusion requests. This notice announces USTR’s determination to grant additional exclusion requests, as specified in the Annex to the notice, which modifies US note 18 to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). USTR has completed review of all exclusion requests received in response to the February 14 notice and will not further consider exclusion requests that were not granted in this or the September 19 notices. This action is without prejudice to the USTR’s authority to grant exclusions if there is another round of requests for exclusion. The product exclusions announced in this notice will apply as of June 13, 2019
