USTR proposes extending maritime fee and duty pause through Jan. 9, 2027
The agency seeks comments before the current suspension ends Nov. 9 and cites more time for negotiations with China.
TLDR
USTR's Oct. 26 notice proposes extending the suspension of specified Section 301 maritime transport fees and duties through Jan. 9, 2027, rather than ending it Nov. 9, 2026. The agency says the added time would allow further negotiations with China. The extension is only a proposal; written comments submitted by 5 p.m. Eastern on Oct. 30 are assured consideration.
