US Extends Section 301 Tariff Exemption on China’s Tech Transfer and IP Issues Through November 10, 2026

COINOTAG News, November 27, local time. The Office of the United States Trade Representative announced on November 26 that it will extend tariffs exemptions established under a Section 301 investigation regarding China’s technology transfer and intellectual property issues through November 10, 2026. The prior exemption was slated to expire on November 29 this year.

The extension preserves relief from duties on a subset of Chinese-origin tech inputs, easing cost pressure for U.S. manufacturers and supply chains. For the crypto infrastructure sector—where hardware imports underpin data centers and mining operations—this policy could reduce capex uncertainty and support more predictable procurement and deployment cycles.

Market observers will assess how this regulatory stance toward tech transfer and IP protection aligns with broader macro trends in digital assets, as greater regulatory clarity tends to influence investment trajectories for crypto infrastructure and related ecosystems.
