China extends tariffs exclusions on some US imports

The Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council has decided to extend exclusions of additional tariffs on some US imports until April 30, according to a statement on Wednesday.

As the 10th extension of those additional tariff exclusions will expire on Sep 15, the commission made the decision in accordance with legal procedures, it said.

Adopted as countermeasures against the United States' so-called 301 tariffs on Chinese goods, the tariffs were mainly levied on US imports including certain chemicals, metals and products and aerial photography drones.
