USDA released an update which outlines the changes that China has made as part of the phase-one trade deal, including shifts the country undertook on several fronts.
China’s lifting of its ban on imports of U.S. poultry, noting it also includes pet food containing poultry products. China also listed its restriction on pet food containing ruminant material.
USDA also noted China’s action on a new protocol to allow in fresh shipping potatoes as another action the country took under terms of the deal.
China has also updated its list of U.S. facilities that can export animal proteins, pet food, dairy, infant formula and tallow for industrial use, and also broadened its list of U.S. seafood products.
The announcement also touted China’s action to half retaliatory tariffs on a host of U.S. products and allow Chinese importers to apply for exemptions on tariffs for nearly 700 U.S. products.
