The safeguard measures include tariff rate quotas. A tariff rate quota permits a specified quantity of merchandise to be imported at a reduced duty rate during a specified period. For example, the tariff rate quota on solar cells allow importations of a specified quantity of solar cells at no additional duty. After this specified quantity of solar cells is imported, an additional duty is imposed on the over quota imports.
There are four separate safeguard measures:
- A tariff rate quota on solar cells;
- Increased duties on solar panels;
- A tariff rate quota on washing machines;
- A tariff rate quota on washing machine parts.
The President has the authority to modify the safeguard measures, for example, by widening the coverage to any of the excluded countries. USTR also may exempt additional products from the measures.
Existing ACE functionality will be used to process the imports subject to the Section 201 tariff rate quotas and tariffs. For the tariff rate quotas, CBP’s ACE quota module will automatically tabulate the total reported quantities of products subject to quotas, and require the in-quota or out-of-quota tariff rates based on the quota limits.

301 Liquidation Extension Request
As the IOR, if you have a pending product exclusion request with USTR and you are concerned that a corresponding entry may liquidate before USTR renders a decision on the exclusion request, you may request an extension of the liquidation deadline, Section 10.3 of the ACE Entry Summary Business Process Document. A liquidation may be extended up to three years.
You may request liquidation extensions from the Center of Excellence and Expertise assigned to your import entries. Please contact an Import Specialist at the Center of Excellence and Expertise.
Questions related to System Errors and/or Transmission Rejections
The Client Representatives are the first point of contact for the Trade community when it relates to automating your systems for interactions with CBP, system-related problems after automation, and any questions on transmitting data to CBP.
If you need more information on who the Client Representative for your area is, please reach out to gmb.clientrepoutreach@cbp.dhs.gov
Post Summary Correction
Product exclusions granted by USTR so far are retroactive to July 6, 2018, for unliquidated entries or entries that are liquidated but not final. Once a product exclusion is granted by USTR, an Importer of Record (IOR) may request an administrative refund by filing a Post Summary Correction (PSC) for unliquidated entries that are covered by the exclusion. If an entry is liquidated prior to the filling of a PSC, a party may file a protest.
For questions regarding how to fill out and submit a PSC or protest, please contact an Import Specialist at the Center of Excellence and Expertise. Centers of Excellence and Expertise Directory Page.
