华盛顿6月2日电(路透社)——美国贸易代表办公室周二启动公众意见征询程序,就两国领导人上月达成的“美中贸易委员会”事宜征集意见,该机制有望推动双方对部分非战略性商品减免关税。

美国贸易代表办公室在一份声明中表示,正就可能从双方关税调整中获益的“特定非敏感产品类别”征求意见,公众评论需于7月10日前提交。

此次公告是落实美中贸易委员会机制的初步步骤,该委员会是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普与中国国家主席习近平在5月中旬北京会晤时商定成立的。

两国官员均表示,这项工作旨在敲定双方各约300亿美元的商品清单,这些商品可在不触碰国家安全红线的前提下开展可持续贸易,并有望获得关税减免资格。

美国贸易代表办公室的声明未提及300亿美元这一数字,仅要求美国利益相关方宽泛界定符合资格的产品。在《联邦公报》的通知中,该办公室提问:“哪些类型的中国产品,或特定行业的中国产品,应被视为非敏感产品——即此类产品极少(若有的话)引发经济、国家安全及供应链韧性风险相关问题?”

该办公室还询问,对于目前适用特朗普政府提高后的关税税率的中国产品,应按何种较低关税税率进口,例如特朗普第一任总统任期前生效的原“最惠国”税率。

它要求评论方提供2022年至2024年期间此类中国进口商品的年均价值,说明哪些消费者将从中获益,以及哪些消费者将因这项关税调整受损。

该机构还要求提供有关美国对华出口的类似信息,这些目前也需缴纳额外关税,其中包括农产品。

此外,美国贸易代表办公室还征求公众意见,探讨双边贸易委员会机制应多久召开一次会议,以及应在何时、以何种方式调整非敏感产品的范围和品类。

美国贸易代表贾米森·格里尔在一份声明中表示,特朗普政府将与利益相关方合作,“找出可惠及美国农民、牧场主、渔民、小企业、制造商和工人的非敏感商品贸易机会”。

他表示,美国贸易代表办公室也欢迎各界就如何有效推动互利的对华贸易“同时继续利用关税捍卫美国经济和国家安全,促进平衡且互惠的贸易”发表意见。

WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) – The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on Tuesday opened a public comment process on the “U.S.-China Board of Trade” agreed by the two countries’ leaders last month that could lead to both sides cutting tariffs on some non-strategic goods.

USTR said in a statement that it is seeking input on “specific types of non-sensitive products” that could benefit from tariff modifications on both sides, with comments due July 10.

The announcement marks an initial step towards implementing the Board of Trade body that President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to form at their mid-May summit in Beijing.

Officials from both countries described the effort as identifying about $30 billion worth of goods on each side that could be sustainably traded without crossing national security red lines and qualify for potential tariff reductions.

The USTR statement did not mention the $30 billion figure but asked U.S. stakeholders to broadly define eligible products. In a Federal Register notice, it asks: “What types of Chinese products, or Chinese products in particular sectors, should be considered non-sensitive in that they give rise to few, if any, issues related to economic and national security and supply chain resilience risks?”

It also asked what Chinese products now subject to Trump’s higher tariff rates should be imported at lower tariff rates such as the original “most-favored nation” rates that prevailed before Trump’s first term.

It asked for commentators to provide the annual average value of such imports from China in the 2022 to 2024 period along with which consumers would benefit, and which would be harmed by such an adjustment.

The agency is seeking similar information on U.S. exports to China now subject to additional tariffs, including agricultural products.

In addition, USTR is asking for views on how often the bilateral Board of Trade body should convene and when and how it should adjust the scope and mix of non-sensitive products.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in a statement that the Trump administration would work with stakeholders “to identify non-sensitive goods trade that can deliver results for American farmers, ranchers, fishermen, small businesses, manufacturers, and workers.”

He said USTR also welcomed comments on effective ways to facilitate mutually beneficial China trade “while continuing to use tariffs to defend American economic and national security and promote balanced and reciprocal trade.”
