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 strongly support the two-month extension of the suspension of the Section 301 vessel fees related to China’s targeting of the maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding sectors. We appreciate the extension to January 9, 2027 as a result of the summit between President Trump and President Xi. We call upon USTR and the administration to permanently suspend the fees to provide certainty to the global supply chain.
