Over 2,500 Companies File for Tariff Exclusions on Chinese Imports

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.

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.
