Section 301 Refunds
China Section 301 tariffs are one of the biggest sources of recoverable duty. Many importers overpaid without realizing it.
Figures reflect CBP tariff refund claim processing data.
What Section 301 tariffs are
Section 301 tariffs are additional duties, commonly 25%, applied to many China-origin goods on top of the normal base rate. Because they hit thousands of HTS lines and stack on the base duty, they add up quickly, and they are a frequent source of overpayment.
The exclusion process
The USTR granted product exclusions that removed specific goods from the Section 301 tariff for defined windows. Importers who were entitled to an exclusion but did not claim it paid duty they did not owe. Recovering means identifying the exclusions that applied to your products and filing to reclaim what you overpaid.
One review, both angles
Section 301 recovery often runs alongside IEEPA refunds and HTS misclassification review. Rather than treating them separately, a single specialist review looks at all of it, so nothing recoverable is left on the table.
