In response to France’s Digital Services Tax (DST), the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) proposed additional ad valorem duties of up to 100 percent on certain products from France. The USTR issued a Section 301 Investigation Report on the DST, concluding that the DST discriminates against U.S. companies, is inconsistent with prevailing principles of tax policy, and is unusually burdensome for affected U.S. companies. Members of our International Trade Team explain these developments in our recent client alert.
