Caribbean Group Says US Exemptions on Chinese Ships ‘Acceptable’

The Caribbean Private Sector Organization said it welcomed a decision to exempt certain Chinese ships traveling to its ports from millions of dollars in fees proposed by the Trump administration.

The group said Saturday that its lobbying efforts paid off with an “acceptable” decision April 17 by the US Trade Representative to grant exemptions on three categories of Chinese-made cargo ships that load and unload goods at ports in the Caribbean.
