The United States and Uzbekistan Announce Early Harvest on Trade, Accelerate Agreement on Reciprocal Trade and Investment Talks

June 25, 2026

TASHKENT – Today, as part of the visit of Ambassador Jamieson Greer to Uzbekistan, the United States and Uzbekistan have agreed to an early harvest of trade commitments to strengthen the bilateral economic and investment relationship and ensure reciprocity, balance, and resilience in bilateral trade. Both countries also agreed to accelerate talks towards the swift conclusion of an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade and Investment. These announcements build on meetings between President Donald J. Trump and President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in 2025, and reaffirm both countries’ longstanding commitment to strengthening their strategic and economic partnership.

This early harvest on trade and investment includes:

  • Uzbekistan commits to eliminate or reduce tariffs on a wide range of U.S. industrial goods and agricultural products. The United States commits to provide favorable consideration in tariff actions for Uzbekistan industrial goods and agricultural products, to the extent appropriate and consistent with U.S. law.

  • The United States and Uzbekistan also agree to strengthen investment cooperation and explore pathways for promoting and facilitating bilateral investments.

  • The United States and Uzbekistan will accelerate negotiations towards an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade and Investment.

These announcements represent further significant progress in the bilateral trade relationship since the announcement of $32 billion in bilateral commercial deals by President Trump and President Mirziyoyev last year, including an $8.5 billion deal with Boeing as well as purchases and investments in strategic sectors such as critical minerals, mining, energy, finance, and information technology.

Quota Bulletin 26-214 2026 Tuna Final Restraint Limit and Proration

Restraint Level:

A notice entitled “Tuna Tariff – Rate Quota For Calendar Year 2026 for Tuna Classifiable Under Subheading 1604.14.22, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)” published in the Federal Register on June 3, 2026, announced the 2026 restraint limit for tuna. The quota restraint limit for 2026 is 16,364,101 kilograms.

The quota on tuna did not oversubscribe at opening moment on January 2, 2026. All successful entry summaries and/or warehouse withdrawals of tuna presented with a presentation date of 12 am (midnight) January 2, 2026, onward will be granted 100 % proration of the quantity presented on a first come first served basis based on quota presentation date. The entry that filled and surpassed the quota limit will be prorated according to 19 CFR 132.

All entry summaries and/or warehouse withdrawals receiving the quota proration will receive 100% of the presented quantity and shall be liquidated at the in-quota (low) rate (HTS 1604.14.22/6%) until the quota limit is met. Quantities should be rounded to the nearest whole number as appropriate.

Any entry summaries and/or warehouse withdrawals presented after the final prorated entry shall be liquidated at the high rate (HTS 1604.14.30/12.5%).

Reporting Instructions:

HQ Quota will distribute an excel spreadsheet to the Agriculture and Prepared Products Center who will manage the duty and proration processing. The low duty HTS will be applied on all entries until the fill level is attained. Those entries that filled the 2026 limit at the same time will be prorated according to 19 CFM 132.

Special Instructions:

The Agriculture and Prepared Product Center will ensure that the quota is reported properly for entries containing tuna and oversee the processing of liquidation to generate the importer refund if necessary.

Broker/Filers are advised to file a claim (i.e., Post Summary Correction (PSC) or protest to request duty refund) if an entry summary is liquidated in error.

Questions regarding this message should be referred to Headquarters Quota and Agriculture Branch at HQQUOTA@cbp.dhs.gov.

Multifunctional Acrylate and Methacrylate Monomers and Oligomers (MAMMOs) From South Korea Injure U.S. Industry, Says USITC

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of multifunctional acrylate and methacrylate monomers and oligomers (MAMMOs) from South Korea that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value.

Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Jason E. Kearns and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determination, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order on imports of this product from South Korea.

The Commission also made a negative critical circumstances determination with respect to the subject imports from South Korea for which Commerce had made a final affirmative critical circumstances finding in its antidumping duty investigation.

The Commission’s public report, Multifunctional Acrylate and Methacrylate Monomers and Oligomers (MAMMOs) from South Korea (Inv. No. 731-TA-1740 (Final), USITC Publication 5761, July 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigation.

USITC MAKES DETERMINATION IN CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES REVIEW CONCERNING FRESH TOMATOES FROM MEXICO

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that there are not changed circumstances sufficient to warrant revocation of the existing antidumping order on imports of fresh tomatoes from Mexico. 

Commissioners Jason E. Kearns and Amy A. Karpel voted that there are not such changed circumstances. Chairman David S. Johanson did not participate in the vote. 

As a result of the Commission’s determination, the existing order on imports of this product from Mexico will continue. 

Today's action follows the Commission’s institution of investigation, dated January 21, 2026, under section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1675(b)), to review its determination in Inv. No. 731-TA-747 (Final). See the attached background information for more information about changed circumstances reviews. 

The Commission’s public report, Fresh Tomatoes from Mexico (Inv. No. 751-TA-30, USITC Publication 5762, July 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigation.

The report will be available on the USITC website by August 17, 2026.

BACKGROUND

Changed circumstances reviews are made by the U.S. Department of Commerce and/or the USITC with respect to final affirmative determinations that resulted in a countervailing duty order or antidumping duty order. They also apply to suspension agreements that resulted from a countervailing duty or antidumping duty investigation. Commerce and the USITC conduct such reviews under section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1675(b)) based on information or at the request of an interested party. The USITC's regulation regarding changed circumstances reviews can be found at 19 C.F.R. § 207.45.

In changed circumstances reviews involving a countervailing duty or antidumping duty order, the USITC shall determine whether revocation of the order or finding is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. In reviews involving a suspension agreement, the USITC must determine whether the suspension agreement continues to eliminate completely the injurious effects of imports of the subject merchandise.

Additional information about the investigation, including the results of today’s vote, is located on the investigations page for Fresh Tomatoes from Mexico; Inv. No. 751-30.

Withhold Release Order (WRO) on Copper and Copper Products Manufactured in Serbia, by Serbia Zijin Copper D.O.O.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a Withhold Release Order against copper and copper products manufactured in Serbia by Serbia Zijin Copper D.O.O. (Serbia Zijin). Effective immediately, CBP personnel at all U.S. ports of entry will detain shipments of these copper products due to evidence reasonably indicating the use of forced labor in their production.

This WRO, the fourth in Fiscal Year 2026, was issued due to violations of 19 U.S.C. § 1307, the law prohibiting goods made with forced labor from entering the United States. When CBP has evidence indicating imported goods are made with forced labor, the agency acts to detain those shipments through WROs.

“U.S. manufacturers face unfair competition when foreign companies cut costs by using forced labor,” said CBP Office of Trade Executive Assistant Commissioner Susan S. Thomas. “By enforcing our laws against forced labor, CBP safeguards human rights as well as our nation’s economic security.”

This WRO is the result of a CBP investigation and review of information that Serbia Zijin manufactures copper and copper products using forced labor. CBP analyzed the following supporting evidence: worker statements, photographs, focus group field notes, text message screenshots, open-source non-government organization reports, news media, and academic research.

Taken together, the evidence demonstrated that workers at Serbia Zijin are subject to six International Labour Organization indicators of forced labor: abuse of vulnerability, withholding of wages, intimidation and threats, restriction of movement, retention of identity documents, and excessive overtime. The facts underlying these indicators show, by reasonable suspicion, that workers are engaged in forced labor (i.e., work performed involuntarily and under menace of penalty). Additionally, CBP trade import data demonstrates that the goods are being, or are likely to be, imported into the United States.

The WRO against Serbia Zijin highlights CBP’s continued efforts to combat forced labor. With this action, CBP now oversees and enforces 56 WROs and eight Findings under 19 U.S.C. § 1307.

Importers of detained shipments may either destroy or export their shipments, or they may seek to demonstrate that the merchandise was not produced with forced labor.

CBP receives allegations of forced labor from a variety of sources including government agencies, media, non-government organizations, and members of the public. Any person or organization that has reason to believe merchandise produced with forced labor is being, or is likely to be, imported into the United States can report allegations through CBP’s Forced Labor Allegation Portal.

USITC Votes to Continue Investigations on Air Compressors from China, Malaysia, and Vietnam

USITC Votes to Continue Investigations on Air Compressors from China, Malaysia, and Vietnam

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of air compressors from China, Malaysia, and Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of China, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of air compressors from China, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

The Commission’s public report, Air Compressors from China, Malaysia, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-794-796 and 731-TA-1790-1792 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5756, June 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available on the USITC website by July 21, 2026.

USITC Makes Determinations in Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews Concerning Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products from China

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that revoking the existing countervailing and antidumping duty orders on wood mouldings and millwork products from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the existing orders on imports of this product from China will remain in place. 

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. 

Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.

The Commission’s public report, Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-636 and 731-TA-1470 (Review), USITC Publication 5755, June 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.

The report will be available on the USITC website by July 22, 2026. 

BACKGROUND

The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

The Commission’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the Commission concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information. Generally, within 95 days from institution, the Commission will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.

The Commission generally does not hold a hearing or conduct further investigative activities in expedited reviews. Commissioners base their injury determination in expedited reviews on the facts available, including the Commission’s prior injury and review determinations, responses received to its notice of institution, data collected by staff in connection with the reviews, and information provided by the Department of Commerce.

The five-year (sunset) reviews concerning Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products from China were instituted on January 2, 2026.

On April 7, 2026, the Commission determined to conduct expedited five-year reviews. Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns concluded that the domestic interested party group responses were adequate and the respondent interested party group responses were inadequate, and voted for expedited reviews. 

A record of the Commission’s vote to conduct expedited reviews is available on the investigations page for Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products from China; Inv. No. 701-TA-636 and 731-TA-1470 (Review).

National Marine Fisheries Service Restricts Imports from the Philippines Blue Swimming Crab Fisheries under the Marine Mammal Protection Act

On May 12, 2026, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) denied the comparability findings for the two blue swimming crab fisheries from the Philippines. In addition, NOAA Fisheries issued comparability findings for the blue swimming crab fisheries for Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam (https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2026-09429). 

 

As a result, seafood imports from the Philippines blue swimming crab fisheries will be restricted as of June 11, 2026. Please see the NOAA Fisheries resource below for the U.S. HTS codes flagged from the Philippines that will require a Certification of Admissibility (COA) upon entry to confirm admissibility.  

 Resources on the Harmonized Tariff Schedule Codes and Country of Origin flagged under the MMPA import restrictions and associated prohibited fisheries are available online: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/resource/outreach-materials/harmonized-tariff-codes-and-other-resources-marine-mammal-protection 

 More information about these nations’ comparability finding reports and other MMPA Import Provisions updates is available online: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/international-affairs/2025-marine-mammal-protection-act-comparability-finding-determinations

USTR Announces Section 301 Investigation of Vietnam’s Acts, Policies, and Practices Related to Intellectual Property Protection and Enforcement

May 29, 2026

WASHINGTON — Today, following identifying Vietnam as a Priority Foreign Country in the 2026 Special 301 Report, which was published on April 30, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer initiated an investigation of Vietnam under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The investigation will seek to determine whether Vietnam’s persistent failure to resolve long-standing concerns about intellectual property (IP) protection and enforcement is unreasonable or discriminatory and burdens or restricts U.S. commerce.

“While Vietnam has recently taken some steps toward addressing IP concerns that the United States has chronicled over many years in USTR’s Annual Special 301 Report, IP infringement in Vietnam continues to impair the competitive position of U.S. innovators and creators,” said Ambassador Greer. “We need to see Vietnam resolve these long-standing concerns, including on a range of IP enforcement issues, in a manner that is sustained and that deters future IP infringements.”

The current investigation will examine Vietnam’s acts, policies, and practices related to IP protection and enforcement and assess their impact on U.S. commerce. Once the investigation is complete, Ambassador Greer will determine, in consultation with President Trump, what, if any, responsive action should be taken to address them.

Background

Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, (Trade Act) is designed to address unfair foreign practices affecting U.S. commerce. Section 301 may be used to respond to unjustifiable, unreasonable, or discriminatory foreign government practices that burden or restrict U.S. commerce. Under section 182(b) of the Trade Act, countries that have the most onerous or egregious acts, policies, or practices that have the greatest adverse impact on the relevant U.S. products may be identified as “priority foreign countries,” unless they are entering into good-faith negotiations or are making significant progress in bilateral or multilateral negotiations to provide adequate and effective protection for IP rights and fair and equitable market access for persons that rely on IP protection. Section 302 requires the Trade Representative to decide within 30 days following the identification of a priority foreign country whether to initiate an investigation regarding the acts, policies, and practices that were the basis for that identification.

In the April 30, 2026, Special 301 Report, Ambassador Greer identified Vietnam as a priority foreign country due to its persistent failure to resolve long-standing concerns about IP protection and enforcement. Pursuant to section 302, Ambassador Greer has determined to initiate an investigation of the acts, policies, and practices of Vietnam that were the basis for that identification.

A docket for comments regarding the investigation will be available here.

USTR Section 301 Determination on Brazil’s Unreasonable Acts, Policies, and Practices

June 01, 2026

WASHINGTON – Today, the United States Trade Representative determined under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 that certain of Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices related to digital trade and electronic payment services; unfair, preferential tariffs; anti-corruption enforcement; intellectual property protection; ethanol market access; and illegal deforestation are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S. commerce, and are thus actionable under Section 301(b) of the Trade Act.

As a result of this determination, the U.S. Trade Representative has proposed responsive action for public comment, while the United States continues to engage intensively with Brazil to seek resolution of U.S. concerns.

“I launched this Section 301 investigation at President Trump’s direction to address longstanding and pervasive U.S. concerns with certain of Brazil’s trade policies and practices. Over the past year, President Trump and I have had several constructive meetings with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his cabinet, which have accelerated in recent weeks,” said Ambassador Jamieson Greer. “However, we continue to have substantial differences in resolving the issues identified in this investigation. I look forward to continuing engagement with the Brazilian Government in advance of the July 15, 2026 statutory deadline for taking responsive action.”

To be assured of consideration, interested persons should submit requests to appear at the hearing, along with a summary of the testimony, by June 22, 2026.

Written comments are due by July 1, 2026.

USTR will hold a hearing about the proposed action on July 6, 2026.
