On June 26, 2020, the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) published in the Federal Register a request for comments [Docket Number USTR-2020-0023] relating to a review being conducted by USTR of the action being taken in the Section 301 investigation involving the enforcement of US World Trade Organization (WTO) rights in the Large Civil Aircraft dispute. In connection with this review, USTR is considering modifying the list of products of certain current or former European Union (EU) member States that currently are subject to additional duties. Annex I to the notice contains the list of products currently subject to additional duties. Annex II contains a list of products, originally published in the April and July 2019 notices in this investigation, under consideration but not currently subject to additional duties. Annex III contains a new list of products being considered for imposition of additional duties. The Office of the USTR requests comments with respect to whether products listed in Annex I should be removed from the list or remain on the list; whether the rate of additional duty on specific products should be increased, up to a level of 100 percent; whether additional duties should be imposed on specific products listed in Annex II or Annex III; and on the rate of additional duty of up to 100 percent to be applied to any products drawn from Annex II or Annex III. On June 26, 2020, USTR opened an electronic portal for submission of comments regarding the review of the action. To be assured of consideration, comments must be submitted by July 26, 2020.
