"Five out of the sixteen items on the list are agricultural products. This time, we mainly targeted livestock breeding and cultivation industries, which have an increasing demand among Chinese consumers. These chosen products have heavily relied on imports from America as the single source. But the majority of our agricultural products could easily find substitutes elsewhere."

China on Wednesday unveiled the first list of U.S. goods to be excluded from the first round of additional tariffs on U.S. products.
The exemption will become effective on Sept. 17, according to the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council.
Specifically, 16 items in the list will be exempted from tariffs imposed in retaliation against U.S. tariffs as part of a "Section 301" probe.
The commission will offer refunds for 12 items that have already been taxed, including shrimp, lubricant, fish meal (used in animal feeding), and medical linear accelerators, which are used in cancer treatment. Related companies have six months to file refund applications to China's customs administration.
The remaining four items will also be free from the tariffs, but there will be no refund for the previously-added duties. The four products on the list are milk serum (used in animal feeding), mold release agents, isoparaffin solvent and lubricating base oil.
"Five out of the sixteen items on the list are agricultural products. This time, we mainly targeted livestock breeding and cultivation industries, which have an increasing demand among Chinese consumers. These chosen products have heavily relied on imports from America as the single source. But the majority of our agricultural products could easily find substitutes elsewhere," said Tian Zhihong, a professor with China Agricultural University.
