China Ends Levies on US Farm Goods, Halts Export Curbs on Firms

China announced it will remove retaliatory tariffs on some US farm products and lift export controls on an array of American firms, after Washington halved its fentanyl-related levies on Chinese goods.

The country’s Finance Ministry confirmed in a Wednesday notice it would end tariffs imposed March 4 on soybeans and other US agricultural products including corn, wheat, sorghum and chicken. That move — to take effect Nov. 10 — was previously flagged in a White House fact sheet.
