The new version includes instructions on how to manage tariff exclusion applications. An unofficial translation of the revised guide has been issued by the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service.
 
As previously posted, China-based companies are eligible to apply for this tariff exclusion process, which enumerates 150 agricultural and agricultural-related goods.
 
The nuts and dried fruits listed in this exclusion process are the following:
HS Code Product Description
0802 5100 Pistachios, in-shell
 
In addition, a second exclusion list was issued on May 12, 2020, without including agricultural products. However, importers are allowed to apply for a tariff exclusion for any tariff line.
