# International Trade & Regulatory Advisory: Section 301 Actions Against Chinese Imports: Background, Developments, and Strategy | News & Insights | Alston & Bird

> An international trade advisory outlines four Section 301 tariff lists on Chinese imports, dating from 2018, with rates as high as 25%. It notes that the tariffs have been challenged at the WTO and in the Court of International Trade and may be revisited due to inflation and a sunset review.

## Why it matters

Possible changes to Section 301 tariffs could alter the cost of Chinese imports and the terms of US farm export access, but the advisory gives no specific decision that moves commodity prices.
