With the U.S. Trade Representative's Office (USTR) review of the Section 301 tariffs on China well underway and due to conclude soon, a former U.S. trade official has suggested using the review to impose additional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.

Commenting on the ongoing review of the Section 301 tariffs being undertaken by the U.S. Trade Representative's Office, U.S. Trade Rep. Katherine Tai stated on Friday that the goal "is to wrap this up, hopefully by the end of this year."

At an event put on by the Washington International Trade Association and the Asia Society Policy Institute, a USTR official outlined U.S. concerns with Chinese electric vehicles and offered a general time-frame for the ongoing Section 301 tariff review.

China's Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council announced last week that it will again extend tariff exclusions on some U.S. goods that were subject to retaliatory tariffs as a response to U.S. Section 301 tariffs.
