Frequently asked questions

What is a Section 301 action?

Section 301 of the US Trade Act of 1974 lets the USTR investigate unfair foreign trade practices and respond with tariffs or other measures. An “action” here covers determinations, tariff implementations, product-exclusion amendments, modifications and related notices published in the Federal Register.

How fresh is this tracker?

The underlying dataset is the official Federal Register API feed for USTR documents matching “section 301”, refreshed through our pipeline; every page shows the exact fetch timestamp of the snapshot it was built from.

Are these the official texts?

No. ExportSonar mirrors structured metadata (titles, dates, abstracts) and always links the authoritative Federal Register record; when the two differ, the Federal Register wins.

How does this affect my landed cost?

Section 301 actions add duties on top of MFN rates. Check whether your HS code is covered using our calculator and the China Section 301 guide, then confirm scope in the linked Federal Register text.
