On behalf of the undersigned maritime transportation stakeholders—including importers, exporters, retailers, manufacturers, agriculture groups, logistics providers, and other users of the international freight transportation system—we respectfully urge the Office of the United States Trade Representative to extend the current suspension of the Section 301 vessel fees related to China’s targeting of the maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding sectors. USTR suspended these fees for one year beginning November 10, 2025, following the agreement with China announced last November, with the suspension currently scheduled to expire on November 9, 2026. We strongly urge the administration to extend the suspension once again during the summit between President Trump and President Xi.
