EU Tariffs and Effective Dates

European leaders and President Joe Biden are expected to commit to ending outstanding trade battles when they meet the week of June 14, 2021, potentially removing tariffs related to steel and aluminum before the end of the year. Read more.

March 2021, the USTR issued a determination to temporarily suspend additional duties on products of the United Kingdom (UK) under the Section 301 Large Civil Aircraft (LCA) Dispute. The suspension is effective for imports, or warehouse withdrawals for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. (EST) on March 4, 2021. Importers may submit post summary corrections on entry summaries submitted on or after March 4 to request a refund of the suspended UK duties.

In a joint statement released by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”), the U.S. and European Union (EU)  agreed to temporarily suspend the additional tariffs from the Large Civil Aircraft Dispute. Goods imported from EU countries, including dairy products and liquors, will temporarily not be subject to the additional 25 percent duties under Section 301. The temporary suspension will initially last four months.  USTR has not yet announced a specific date when the suspension on tariffs for EU goods will begin.  USTR plans to share that information in a forthcoming Federal Register notice.
