Commerce is inviting the public to comment on this proposal to revoke the duties on these specific parts.

Importers and exporters must provide certifications to Customs and Border Protection if they want to avoid the suspension of their goods and additional duties, ensuring that their products do not contain components from China. These measures apply from October 19, 2023, onwards, to all affected products.
