US broiler chicken duties off

THE Commerce Ministry said it has removed anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on US white-feathered broiler chickens.

The move became effective yesterday. The tariffs were first imposed in 2010 and were extended for a further five years in 2016.

The removal of penalties comes against a backdrop of an escalating trade spat between the two countries, after Washington slapped duties on washing machines and solar panels, triggering a probe by China into US sorghum.

The move on broiler chickens is largely inconsequential for the American poultry industry, since China’s 2015 ban on imports of US poultry, poultry products and eggs due to avian influenza remains in place.

Annual exports of poultry and eggs to China were worth hundreds of millions of dollars before the restrictions.
