昨日，美國貿易代表辦公室（USTR）公布一份關稅豁免清單，免除部分中國原產商品25%進口關稅。

2018年9月24日，美國當局開始對價值2,000億美元的中國原產商品加征10%關稅，2019年5月份稅率追加至25%，這部分商品包括大量農產品、化工品和機器零部件。

考慮到部分商品并非中國獨產，原材料采購自美國和第三方國家，也不涉及“中國制造2025”戰略及其他工業項目，豁免關稅不對美國經濟利益造成嚴重危害，美國貿易代表辦公室決定對包括9種加工海產品在內的產品實施減稅計劃。

減稅對象為美國東部時間2018年9月24日至2020年8月7日期間入境或出庫的商品，美國海關與邊境保護局將發布相關指導文件。

減稅海產品目錄如下：
