On 11 September 2019, China’s Customs Tariff Commission (Commission) announced a list of 16 tariff items that will be exempted from the retaliatory tariffs on the US$500 billion of United States (US) origin goods (China Lists 1 and 2). These are the first group of exemptions to be granted by the Commission since the punitive tariffs went into effect in July and August 2018.
