More than 2,500 companies filed for requests to be exempted from tariffs implemented on imports from China by the midnight Monday deadline
By Anthony DeBarros and Josh Zumbrun Oct. 1, 2019 9:29 am ET WASHINGTON—U.S. companies are continuing to seek exemptions to tariffs on a wide assortment of Chinese imports—including frozen fish, furniture, cosmetics and other products—ahead of another jump in levies Oct. 15.
In their appeals to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, companies typically say they are either unable to find comparable replacement goods, or that doing so would be at prohibitive cost. But multiple additional companies filed hundreds of requests of their own. Prime-Line Products, a Redlands, Calif., maker of hardware for doors and windows, sent nearly 1,400 requests for exclusions on items such as brackets, guides, handles and wheels.
To make their case, companies need to describe each product and provide a rationale as to why it can’t be obtained from alternate sources.
