BEIJING, Dec 25 (Reuters) – China will extend tariff exemptions for imports of six U.S. products, including white oil and food-grade petroleum wax, for another year, the Finance Ministry said on Friday.

The extension, which will be effective as of Saturday, will last until December 25, 2021, the ministry said.

China announced tariff exemptions on all six US chemicals and petroleum products in December last year, shortly after the two countries announced a Phase 1 trade deal.
