China’s customs agency has posted a notice on its site that U.S. barley and blueberries will be allowed into China. The agency said on its website that effective today (May 14), imports that meet relevant requirements will be allowed into the country.
The shift is confirmation that provisions of the Phase One agreement between the two sides continue to be implemented.
The deal called on the U.S. and the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC) to make several changes on phytosanitary protocols, including signing and implementing such a protocol to allow the importation of U.S. barley and blueberries into China within three months of the agreement entering into force.
