The hearings will take place at the U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436.
The proposed tariffs are part of the U.S. response to China’s unfair trade practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation based on the findings in USTR’s investigation of China under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Of the tariffs authorized for $50 billion of Chinese products, tariffs on $34 billion are currently in effect and tariffs on the remaining $16 billion are the subject of the public hearing.
