US to seek public comment on Chinese goods eligible for tariff cuts
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced the government will seek public comment on which Chinese goods should qualify for lower tariffs. Washington and Beijing have agreed to form a joint "Board of Trade" to identify approximately $30 billion in non-strategic goods for potential tariff reductions. Greer stated US tariffs on Chinese goods will likely remain higher than those on goods from other countries.
