A lawsuit was filed in the Court of International Trade (CIT) alleging that the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) neither had the authority nor was within the proper timeline to levy duty on the importation of goods listed on List 3 and List 4a of products from China.
On July 6th, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) granted a preliminary injunction suspending the liquidation of all unliquidated entries subject to List 3 and 4a that were included in the litigation. This is considered a “win” for the plaintiffs.
