The U.S. government stated on Sept. 2 that it will continue to impose tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of Chinese goods while continuing the statutory review of those tariffs, which were initiated during the Trump administration.

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) said in a federal notice that the department received requests from more than 400 U.S. companies and interested parties this spring and summer to maintain the “Section 301” tariffs imposed on Chinese products in 2018 and 2019.
