WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - The Trump administration

issued a formal notice on Wednesday implementing the U.S. trade

agreement with the European Union, confirming that autos and

auto parts imports will be subject to a 15% duty from August 1

and listing exemptions for certain pharmaceutical compounds, all

aircraft and aircraft parts, and certain natural resources.

In a Federal Register notice, the Commerce Department and

the U.S. Trade Representative's office said they have amended

the U.S. tariff schedule to implement the Framework Agreement

reached with the EU in late July that lowers President Donald

Trump's tariffs to 15% on the vast majority of imports from the

EU, including autos.

The deal was subsequently modified to make the duty rate

retroactive to August 1, but European automakers have been

waiting for the formal notice.

The U.S. notice also specifies hundreds of products from

the EU that are exempt from tariffs, including natural resources

such as cork that are unavailable in the U.S., all aircraft and

aircraft parts, and generic pharmaceuticals and their

ingredients and chemical precursors.
