China set final import tariffs on European Union pork at significantly lower levels than initially announced in September.

Beijing will impose anti-dumping levies ranging from 4.9% to 19.8% on meat from one of the world’s biggest supply regions, the Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday on its website. Preliminary duties set in September had been as high as 62.4%.
