On December 18, 2019, China's State Council Tariff Commission (SCTC) announced its annual tariff adjustment plan that sets tentative import and export tariff rates for selected commodities in the year 2020.
The SCTC tariff adjustment plan has lowered import tariffs for frozen hams, shoulders, and cuts of pork (with bone) and other frozen pork to 8 percent from the current 12 percent. The new tariffs, which will take effect on January 1, 2020, are aimed at encouraging pork imports to fill the gap caused by China’s ongoing outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF).
The SCTC announcement does not affect the retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports to China.
