BEIJING - China will continue to exempt certain US goods from additional tariffs for another year, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council said Tuesday.

The country announced in September last year that 16 products imported from the United States would be excluded from the first round of tariff countermeasures against the US Section 301 measures, effective from Sept 17, 2019 to Sept 16, 2020.
