China is adjusting the import and export tariffs of a number of commodities from Jan 1, including on seafood species such as Alaska pollock, cod and Atlantic salmon.

Starting from the beginning of next year, China will implement temporary import tariff rates, which are lower than the most-favored-nation (MFN) tariffs, on 954 commodities, said China’s Ministry of Finance (MOF).

As part of this, fresh and chilled Atlantic salmon imports will have a provisional tax rate for 2022 of 7 percent compared with the MFN tax rate of 10 percent.
