Vegetables, aquatic products included; Beijing faults bans on mainland exports

BEIJING (Reuters) — China will suspend tariff exemptions on 34 agricultural items imported from Taiwan, including fresh fruits, vegetables and aquatic products, effective Sept. 25, a Chinese Finance Ministry statement said on Wednesday.

The ministry said that tariffs on these items will be implemented in line with existing regulations.

“Taiwan’s unilateral adoption of discriminatory measures such as bans and restrictions on the export of mainland products has seriously impeded cross-Strait economic and trade cooperation,” it added.
