Section 301 Tracker

The tariffs are settled.
The deadlines are not.

Section 301 is no longer only about China. Seven open actions, from the original China lists to the forced labor duties now reaching 60 economies: what is being collected today, what lapses in November, and what is still only proposed.

Last reviewed and updated September 20, 2026 · 178 exclusions expire in 50 days; two four-year-review carve-outs have expired

50 days

Two Section 301 actions lapse on the same day

The 178 remaining product exclusions expire at 11:59 p.m. EDT on November 9, 2026, and the suspension of port fees on China-linked vessels runs out the same day. Neither renewal is automatic, and neither has been announced. Entries made on or after November 10 pay the full List rate.

Every open action

Each action carries two statuses, and they are independent by design. The first pill is what you need to do. The second is what the duty itself is doing. They routinely disagree: the largest tariffs on this page need nothing from you this quarter, while the action with no tariff at all is the one worth preparing for.

Product Exclusions

Act Now In Force
178 exclusions are still in effect, 164 product-specific ones claimed under 9903.88.69 and 14 for solar manufacturing equipment under 9903.88.70. Every one of them expires at 11:59 p.m. EDT on November 9, 2026. Entries made on or after November 10 pay the full List rate unless USTR extends again, and no extension has been announced.
9903.88.69, 9903.88.70

Forced Labor Tariffs

Act Now In Force
The broadest Section 301 action ever taken. Duties of 10 or 12.5 percent have been collected since July 24, 2026 on goods of 60 economies, reportedly about 99.4 percent of what the United States imports. There is no exclusion process, and USTR said so in terms. Twenty-five states are challenging the action, and the duties are payable while they do.

Structural Excess Capacity

Prepare Under Review
The first Section 301 action aimed at allies as well as China. Initiated March 11, 2026 against 16 economies including the European Union, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and India, across 21 manufacturing sectors. Hearings closed May 8, 2026. No determination, proposed remedy or tariff annex has been published, and the statutory determination window runs into March 2027. Press reports on September 17, 2026 said USTR is holding its report and proposed action until after the late-September Trump-Xi meeting; nothing has been published.

Mature-Node Semiconductors

Prepare Scheduled
USTR determined on December 23, 2025 that China's targeting of the legacy chip industry is unreasonable, then set the initial tariff at zero for eighteen months. Duties begin June 23, 2027 at a rate USTR will announce no fewer than 30 days beforehand. The action names 18 eight-digit subheadings and reaches chips, chip parts, polysilicon and doped wafers imported as such, not finished goods containing them.

China Lists 1 to 4A

Act Now In Force
The original four tranches, carrying 7.5 to 25 percent, are collected in full and are no longer under challenge. The Supreme Court denied certiorari in HMTX Industries v. United States on June 15, 2026, ending the refund litigation over Lists 3 and 4A. Duties already paid stay paid. The Court of International Trade then set September 4, 2026 as the date by which plaintiffs in the roughly four thousand stayed cases must identify any surviving claim or be dismissed.

Four-Year Review Increases

Act Now In Force
The strategic increases from the 2024 four-year review sit at 25, 50 and 100 percent across fourteen product groups, from electric vehicles and batteries to cranes, facemasks and critical minerals, with tungsten, solar wafers and polysilicon added in December 2024. The last scheduled step took effect January 1, 2026, so the schedule is fully phased in. Two carve-outs the tariffs shipped with have since expired.

Maritime and Shipbuilding

Act Now Suspended
Port fees on China-linked and Chinese-built vessels were suspended on November 10, 2025 for one year, along with the 100 percent duties on Chinese ship-to-shore cranes and intermodal chassis under Annex V.A. China suspended its reciprocal fees in turn. The suspension runs out at 11:59 p.m. EST on November 9, 2026, the same day the exclusions expire. The Annex IV restrictions on LNG carriage were never suspended and still begin April 17, 2028.

Process, not product

Exclusions

178 active, all expiring

Extended in November 2025 following the leaders’ meeting, and only to November 9, 2026. There is no rolling renewal and no successor process has been opened.

Litigation

Closed, no refunds

The Federal Circuit upheld Lists 3 and 4A in September 2025 and the Supreme Court denied review on June 15, 2026. Section 301 refund claims on that theory are finished.

Open Investigations

Two, one overdue

Excess capacity across 16 economies is past its July 24 target with no determination published. Mature-node semiconductors is decided but deferred to June 2027.
