SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Proceedings in the Investigation
On August 14, 2017, the President issued a Memorandum (82 FR 39007)
instructing the Trade Representative to determine whether to investigate under section
301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2411), laws, policies, practices, or

2

 actions of the Government of China that may be unreasonable or discriminatory and that
may be harming American intellectual property rights, innovation, or technology
development.
On August 18, 2017, after consultation with the appropriate advisory committees
and the inter-agency Section 301 Committee, USTR initiated an investigation into certain
acts, policies, and practices of the Government of China related to technology transfer,
intellectual property, and innovation. The notice of initiation (82 FR 40213) solicited
written comments on, inter alia, four categories of acts, policies and practices of the
Government of China:
1. The Chinese government reportedly uses a variety of tools, including opaque and
discretionary administrative approval processes, joint venture requirements, foreign
equity limitations, procurements, and other mechanisms to regulate or intervene in
U.S. companies' operations in China, in order to require or pressure the transfer of
technologies and intellectual property to Chinese companies. Moreover, many U.S.
companies report facing vague and unwritten rules, as well as local rules that diverge
from national ones, which are applied in a selective and non-transparent manner by
Chinese government officials to pressure technology transfer.
2. The Chinese government's acts, policies and practices reportedly deprive U.S.
companies of the ability to set market-based terms in licensing and other technologyrelated negotiations with Chinese companies and undermine U.S. companies' control
over their technology in China. For example, the Regulations on Technology Import
and Export Administration mandate particular terms for indemnities and ownership of

3

 technology improvements for imported technology, and other measures also impose
non-market terms in licensing and technology contracts.
3. The Chinese government reportedly directs and/or unfairly facilitates the
systematic investment in, and/or acquisition of, U.S. companies and assets by Chinese
companies to obtain cutting-edge technologies and intellectual property and generate
large-scale technology transfer in industries deemed important by Chinese
government industrial plans.
4. The investigation will consider whether the Chinese government is conducting or
supporting unauthorized intrusions into U.S. commercial computer networks or
cyber-enabled theft of intellectual property, trade secrets, or confidential business
information, and whether this conduct harms U.S. companies or provides competitive
advantages to Chinese companies or commercial sectors.
Interested persons filed approximately 70 written submissions. In addition, USTR and the
Section 301 Committee convened a public hearing on October 10, 2017, during which
witnesses provided testimony and responded to questions. The public submissions and a
transcript of the hearing are available on www.regulations.gov in docket number USTR2017-0016.
Based on information obtained during the investigation, including the public
submissions and the public hearing, USTR and the Section 301 Committee have prepared
a comprehensive report on the acts, policies, and practices under investigation. USTR
posted the report on its website on March 22, 2018:
https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/Section%20301%20FINAL.PDF. The report supports

4

 findings that each of the four categories of acts, policies, and practices are unreasonable
or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce.

B. Determination on Acts, Policies, and Practices Under Investigation
Based on the information obtained during the investigation and the advice of the
Section 301 Committee, and as reflected in the publicly-available report on the findings
in the investigation, the Trade Representative has made the following determination
under sections 301(b) and 304(a) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2411(b) and 2414(a)): the
acts, policies, and practices covered in the investigation are unreasonable or
discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce, and are thus actionable under
section 301(b) of the Trade Act. In particular:
1. China uses foreign ownership restrictions, such as joint venture requirements and
foreign equity limitations, and various administrative review and licensing processes,
to require or pressure technology transfer from U.S. companies.
2. China’s regime of technology regulations forces U.S. companies seeking to license
technologies to Chinese entities to do so on non-market-based terms that favor
Chinese recipients.
3. China directs and unfairly facilitates the systematic investment in, and acquisition of,
U.S. companies and assets by Chinese companies to obtain cutting-edge technologies
and intellectual property and generate the transfer of technology to Chinese
companies.

5

 4. China conducts and supports unauthorized intrusions into, and theft from, the
computer networks of U.S. companies to access their sensitive commercial
information and trade secrets.

C. Proposed Determination on Appropriate Action
Upon determining that the acts, policies, and practices under investigation are
actionable, section 301(b) provides that the Trade Representative shall take all
appropriate and feasible action authorized under section 301(c), subject to the specific
direction, if any, of the President regarding such action, and all other appropriate and
feasible action within the power of the President that the President may direct the Trade
Representative to take under section 301(b), to obtain the elimination of that act, policy,
or practice. In a Memorandum dated March 22, 2018 (83 FR 13099), the President
directed the Trade Representative as follows:
Section 1. Tariffs. (a) The Trade Representative should take all appropriate action
under section 301 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 2411) to address the acts, policies, and
practices of China that are unreasonable or discriminatory and that burden or restrict
U.S. commerce. The Trade Representative shall consider whether such action should
include increased tariffs on goods from China.
(b) To advance the purposes of subsection (a) of this section, the Trade Representative
shall publish a proposed list of products and any intended tariff increases within 15
days of the date of this memorandum. After a period of notice and comment in
accordance with section 304(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 2414(b)), and after consultation
with appropriate agencies and committees, the Trade Representative shall, as

6

 appropriate and consistent with law, publish a final list of products and tariff increases,
if any, and implement any such tariffs.
Pursuant to sections 301(b) and (c) and the March 22nd Memorandum from the President,
the Trade Representative proposes that appropriate action would include increased tariffs
on certain goods of Chinese origin. In particular, the proposed action is an additional duty
of 25 percent on a list of products of Chinese origin identified in the Annex to this
Notice. For example, if a good of Chinese origin is currently subject to a zero ad valorem
rate of duty, the product would be subject to a 25 percent ad valorem rate of duty; if a
good of Chinese origin were currently subject to a 10 percent ad valorem rate of duty, the
product would be subject to a 35 percent ad valorem rate of duty; and so on.
To ensure the effectiveness of the action, any merchandise subject to the
increased tariffs admitted into a U.S. foreign trade zone on or after the effective date of
the increased tariffs would have to be admitted as “privileged foreign status” as defined
in 19 CFR 146.41, and would be subject upon entry for consumption to the additional
duty.
The list of products covered by the proposed action was developed using the
following methodology:
Trade analysts from several U.S. Government agencies identified products that benefit
from Chinese industrial policies, including Made in China 2025. The list was refined by
removing specific products identified by analysts as likely to cause disruptions to the
U.S. economy, and tariff lines that are subject to legal or administrative constraints. The
remaining products were ranked according to the likely impact on U.S. consumers, based
on available trade data involving alternative country sources for each product. The

7

 proposed list was then compiled by selecting products from the ranked list with lowest
consumer impact.
The value of the list is approximately $50 billion in terms of estimated annual
trade value for calendar year 2018. This level is appropriate both in light of the estimated
harm to the U.S. economy, and to obtain elimination of China’s harmful acts, policies,
and practices.

D. WTO Dispute on Certain Discriminatory Technology Regulations
As noted above, the second category of acts, policies, and practices under
investigation involve certain discriminatory technology regulations. The Presidential
Memorandum provides the following regarding the Trade Representative’s findings on
this issue:
Section 2. WTO Dispute Settlement. (a) The Trade Representative shall, as appropriate
and consistent with law, pursue dispute settlement in the World Trade Organization
(WTO) to address China’s discriminatory licensing practices. Where appropriate and
consistent with law, the Trade Representative should pursue this action in cooperation
with other WTO members to address China’s unfair trade practices.
(b) Within 60 days of the date of this memorandum, the Trade Representative shall
report to me his progress under subsection (a) of this section.
The Trade Representative has decided that certain acts, policies, and practices of China
considered in the investigation may be appropriately addressed through recourse to WTO
dispute settlement. Accordingly, on March 23, 2018, the Trade Representative initiated a
WTO dispute by requesting consultations with the Government of China regarding

8

 certain specific aspects of China’s technology regulations considered in the investigation.
You can find documents related to this dispute on the dispute settlement section of the
WTO website under DS542: China — Certain Measures Concerning the Protection of
Intellectual Property Rights. Because the Trade Representative intends to address these
issues through recourse to WTO dispute settlement, the proposed tariff action does not
relate to or take into account harm caused by these acts, policies, and practices.

E. Request for Public Comments
In accordance with section 304(b) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2414(b)), USTR
invites comments from interested persons with respect to the proposed action to be taken
in response to the acts, policies, and practices of China determined to be unreasonable or
discriminatory, and to burden or restrict U.S. commerce. To be assured of consideration,
you must submit written comments on the proposed action in response to China’s acts,
policies, and practices by May 11, 2018, and post-hearing rebuttal comments by May 22,
2018.
USTR requests comments with respect to any aspect of the proposed action,
including:
•

The specific products to be subject to increased duties, including whether products
listed in the Annex should be retained or removed, or whether products not currently
on the list should be added.

•

The level of the increase, if any, in the rate of duty.

•

The appropriate aggregate level of trade to be covered by additional duties.

9

 In commenting on the inclusion or removal of particular products on the list of products
subject to the proposed additional duties, USTR requests that commenters address
specifically whether imposing increased duties on a particular product would be
practicable or effective to obtain the elimination of China’s acts, policies, and practices,
and whether maintaining or imposing additional duties on a particular product would
cause disproportionate economic harm to U.S. interests, including small- or medium-size
businesses and consumers.
