A December 12, 2019 Federal Register notice published by USTR informed the public that it was reviewing the action being taken in the Section 301 investigation involving the enforcement of the United States’ World Trade Organization (WTO) rights in the Large Civil Aircraft dispute. The notification includes two annexes: Annex I lists the specific products that are currently subject to additional duties of 10 percent to 25 percent, while Annex II lists products for which additional duties of up to 100 percent are proposed (but for which no additional duties have yet been imposed). Comments for Annex II Products closed January 13, 2020. Here is the USTR Federal Register notice with the two annexes.
