WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. government on Wednesday said it would raise tariffs on certain European Union products, including aircraft components and wines from France and Germany, the latest twist in a 16-year battle over aircraft subsidies between Washington and Brussels.
The French wine exporters federation on Thursday complained that additional US tariffs on French wines and cognac will cost the industry more than $1.2 billion.

As expected, the U.S. Trade Representative has opened the public comment portal for the WTO / Large Civil Aircraft dispute, which includes all of the current tariffs on wine from the EU. The portal will be open through July 26, and the USTR will announce their decision regarding any potential changes to the tariffs on or about August 12. The USTR is required to go through this “carousel” process every 180 days.
Today the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) published the awaited Federal Register Notice announcing the review of action on the WTO / Airbus tariff list. The comment portal will open June 26 and will close on July 26. USTR should publish the results of this review on August 12.
First, in a real sign that our voices are being heard, the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) has asked for emergency approval of a new portal for comments related to the Large Civil Aircraft (WTO / Airbus) dispute, as “it cannot reasonably comply with normal clearance procedures” given the “large volume of public input.”
I write today with a short note of clarification regarding the recent announcement on tariff deferment by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). As you may have heard, the CBP announced this week that they are moving forward with a plan to allow the payment date for certain tariffs to be potentially deferred for 90 days.
