News & Events

On December 6, 2019, the U.S. Trade Representative announced a determination that France’s Digital Services Tax (DST) is unreasonable or discriminatory and burdens or restricts U.S. commerce.

The US recently announced that starting next year, it would impose a 25 percent tariff on $1.3 billion worth of imports from France, including cosmetics, soap, and handbags. US importers of French wine dodged the new tariffs, which were a retaliatory move against a French tax on US technologies companies.

The new additional tariffs on France will be in effect on January 6, 2021, at the end of 180-day suspension period. The reporting number for this new additional tariff on France is 9903.90.01.

M-PACT Solutions has also put together an EU Section 301 tool, which can be found here. This tool is a matrix of EU Countries and HTS codes subject to additional 301 additional tariffs as the U.S. Action in response to both EU’s Large Civil Aircraft subsidies and France Digital Tax.
