On October 10, 2020, the President issued Proclamation 10101 to Further Facilitate Positive Adjustment to Competition from Imports of Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells (Whether or Not Partially or Fully Assembled Into Other Products). The President determined to make two modifications to the Section 201 Action with regards to solar cells and panels: (1) The duty rate of the safeguard tariff for solar cells (over quota only) and modules for the fourth year of the safeguard measure was adjusted from 15 percent to 18 percent; and (2) The exclusion of bifacial solar panels from the Section 201 safeguard tariff was revoked.
These modifications are effective for imports, or warehouse withdrawals for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. October 25, 2020.

The safeguard measures include tariff rate quotas. A tariff rate quota permits a specified quantity of merchandise to be imported at a reduced duty rate during a specified period. For example, the tariff rate quota on solar cells allow importations of a specified quantity of solar cells at no additional duty. After this specified quantity of solar cells is imported, an additional duty is imposed on the over quota imports.
There are four separate safeguard measures:
- A tariff rate quota on solar cells;
- Increased duties on solar panels;
- A tariff rate quota on washing machines;
- A tariff rate quota on washing machine parts.
The President has the authority to modify the safeguard measures, for example, by widening the coverage to any of the excluded countries. USTR also may exempt additional products from the measures.
Existing ACE functionality will be used to process the imports subject to the Section 201 tariff rate quotas and tariffs. For the tariff rate quotas, CBP’s ACE quota module will automatically tabulate the total reported quantities of products subject to quotas, and require the in-quota or out-of-quota tariff rates based on the quota limits.

- (D) body stampings of steel, for tractors suitable for agricultural use (described in subheading 8708.29.21).
Goods for which entry is claimed under a provision of chapter 98 and which are subject to the additional duties prescribed herein shall be eligible for and subject to the terms of such provision and applicable CBP regulations, except that duties under subheading 9802.00.60 shall be assessed based upon the full value of the imported article. In particular, please note that if body stampings of aluminum or steel, for tractors suitable for agricultural use qualify under 9817.00.50/.60, the imports are still subject to the additional 232 duties.
No claim for entry or for any duty exemption or reduction shall be allowed for the derivative aluminum or iron/steel products enumerated in this subdivision under a provision of chapter 99 that may set forth a lower rate of duty or provide duty-free treatment, taking into account information supplied by CBP, but any additional duty prescribed in any provision of this subchapter or subchapter IV of chapter 99 shall be imposed in addition to the duty in heading 9903.85.03 for aluminum and 9903.80.03 for steel.
Any derivative article described in the proclamation, except those eligible for admission under “domestic status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, that is subject to the duty imposed by clause 1 of the proclamation, and that was admitted into a U.S. foreign trade zone under “privileged foreign status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.41, prior to 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on February 8, 2020, will likewise be subject upon entry for consumption to any ad valorem rates of duty related to the classification under the applicable HTSUS subheading added by this proclamation.
Derivative articles shall not be subject upon entry for consumption to the duty established in this proclamation merely by reason of manufacture in a U.S. foreign trade zone. However, derivative articles admitted into a U.S. foreign trade zone in “privileged foreign status” of this proclamation shall retain that status consistent with 19 CFR 146.41(e).
No drawback shall be available with respect to the Section 232 duties imposed on any aluminum or steel article.
GSP and AGOA-eligible goods that are subject to Section 232 duties or quotas may not receive GSP or AGOA duty preference in accordance with 19 USC 2463(b)(2).
Trade preference may be claimed for all preference programs with the exception of GSP and AGOA, as stated above. Importers making a trade preference claim under a program other than GSP or AGOA may continue to receive the preferential duty rate and any MPF exemption that may apply in accordance with 19 CFR 24.23(c). Section 232 duties must be paid on imports subject to Section 232 even if trade preferences apply.
The merchandise covered by the additional duties may also be subject to antidumping and countervailing duties.
Imports of U.S. origin are not subject to Section 232 duties.
CBP will issue additional guidance on entry requirements for any products excluded from these measures, as soon as information is available. CBP will also issue updated guidance if there are any changes to these measures, including any changes to exempted countries and any new requirements, such as quota requirements.
IMMEDIATE TRANSPORTATION SHIPMENTS
Under 19 CFR 141.69(b), merchandise which is not subject to a quantitative or tariff-rate quota and which is covered by an entry for immediate transportation made at the port of original importation, if entered for consumption at the port designated by the consignee or his agent in such transportation entry without having been taken into custody by the port director for general order under section 490, Tariff Act of 1930, as amended ( 19 U.S.C. 1490), shall be subject to the rates in effect when the immediate transportation entry was accepted at the port of original importation.
For such entries covered by an entry for immediate transportation, and with a country of origin and Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification subject to the Presidential Proclamations, such entries shall be subject to the duty rates in effect when the immediate transportation entry was accepted at the port of original importation.

Notice of Action and Request for Public Comment Concerning Proposed Determination of Action Pursuant to Section 301: China's Acts, Policies, and Practices Related to Technology Transfer, Intellectual Property, and Innovation |
301 Liquidation Extension Request
As the IOR, if you have a pending product exclusion request with USTR and you are concerned that a corresponding entry may liquidate before USTR renders a decision on the exclusion request, you may request an extension of the liquidation deadline, Section 10.3 of the ACE Entry Summary Business Process Document, available at www.cbp.gov/document/guides/ace-entry-summary-business-process. A liquidation may be extended up to three years.
You may request liquidation extensions from the Center of Excellence and Expertise assigned to your import entries. Please contact an Import Specialist at the Center of Excellence and Expertise at www.cbp.gov/trade/centers-excellence-and-expertise-information/cee-directory

If you need more information on who the Client Representative for your area is, please reach out to gmb.clientrepoutreach@cbp.dhs.gov
Post Summary Correction
Product exclusions granted by USTR so far are retroactive to July 6, 2018, for unliquidated entries or entries that are liquidated but not final. Once a product exclusion is granted by USTR, an Importer of Record (IOR) may request an administrative refund by filing a Post Summary Correction (PSC) for unliquidated entries that are covered by the exclusion. If an entry is liquidated prior to the filling of a PSC, a party may file a protest.
For questions regarding how to fill out and submit a PSC or protest, please contact an Import Specialist at the Center of Excellence and Expertise at www.cbp.gov/trade/centers-excellence-and-expertise-information/cee-directory
