China has conditionally lifted its ban on imports of U.S. beef/products from animals more than 30 months of age, according to a notice from the Chinese General Administration of Customs Office.
The notice said that inspection and quarantine requirements would be released separately.
The action is one of the moves that China agreed to make as part of the phase-one agreement with the U.S.
The other one on beef is that China is to set maximum residue levels (MRLs) for three growth hormones used in U.S. beef production. That is an action that China agreed to take within 30 days of the agreement taking force – March 14.
The age limit action announced by China was also on the same timeline as the MRL issue, so China is ahead of their deadline on that front.
