About — Section 301 of the US Trade Act, 1974
Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 authorises the U.S. President to investigate and respond to foreign trade practices that are unfair or discriminatory and threaten American commerce. It has become a key tool for enforcing trade rights, notably used in 2018 to impose tariffs on Chinese imports over intellectual‑property concerns.
