Definition & Explanation

Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act authorizes the President to impose tariffs on imports from countries engaged in unfair trade practices—including inadequate intellectual property protection, forced technology transfer, or discrimination against U.S. goods. Wood panels from China have been included in Section 301 tariff lists at various intervals since 2018. Importers must verify exact commodity classification and applicable duty rates at the time of customs clearance, as tariff lists are subject to modification.
