The USTR has proposed revisions to regulations governing foreign-built vehicle carriers and LNG vessels, following a determination that China's actions in the maritime sector are unreasonable. The modifications, which include a new fee structure for vehicle carriers and a shift in LNG reporting requirements, aim to reduce U.S. dependence on China and address concerns in the LNG sector. A public comment period is open until July 7, 2025, as part of this ongoing investigation.
