The United States (US) Trade Representative (USTR) issued joint statements with the United Kingdom (UK) on 4 March 2021 and the European Union (EU) on 5 March 2021 announcing a four-month suspension of the US punitive tariffs imposed on certain UK- and EU-origin goods in relation to the ongoing dispute on large civil aircraft subsidies.1 The suspension effective date for the EU has not yet been established, with the USTR indicating the suspension will become effective once internal procedures are completed. The suspension for the UK is effective as of 4 March 2021 and will temporarily relieve punitive tariffs of 15 to 25% levied under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301) on certain UK- and EU-origin products.
