China continues to implement its tariff exclusion process
in an attempt to facilitate imports of U.S. commodities.
USDA continues to publish guidance for U.S. exporters
seeking to participate in this process (USDA Global
Agricultural Information Network). USTR is
continuing to process and where appropriate grant
exclusions of products from China. USDA also is
implementing its obligations under the agreement.
Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue said, “China
is a market of tremendous potential for
U.S. agriculture and these actions will help
U.S. exporters expand their sales there. We
look forward to continued cooperative work
with China on implementation of Phase One
commitments, and immediate increases in U.S.
exports of all manner of agricultural products.”
United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer
said, “China has worked with the United States to
implement measures that will provide greater
access for U.S. producers and exporters to
China’s growing food and agricultural markets.
Under President Trump’s leadership, we fully
expect this agreement to be a success.”
