USTR must receive requests to exclude a particular product by October 9, 2018. Interested persons, including trade associations, can submit requests for exclusion of a particular product and must provide specified information regarding the physical characteristics of the product, the 10 digit subheading of the U.S. tariff schedule, and the quantity and value of the Chinese-origin product sought to be excluded.
