United States Trade Representative invites comments on proposals for additional duties on US$3.1 billion of EU and UK exports

26 June 2020

Since October 2019 the United States has imposed additional duties on imports from the EU and UK in connection with the WTO Dispute Settlement Body's finding that EU subsidies to Airbus breached WTO rules.

On June 23, 2020, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) published a request for comment, which contains proposals for additional duties on an estimated US$3.1 billion of EU and UK exports, including duties of up to 100% on certain products. EU and UK enterprises exporting to the United States, and impacted U.S. businesses, have until 26 July 2020 to comment on USTR's most recent tariff proposals.
