Japan to hike tariffs on frozen beef imports from US and others
July 28, 2017

• Japan’s Ministry of Finance said on Friday the country will raise tariffs on frozen beef imports from the U.S. and other countries
• Japan is the biggest Asian market for U.S. beef
• The announcement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump is trying to expand American exports to Japan

Japan’s Ministry of Finance (MOF) said on Friday the country will raise tariffs on frozen beef imports from the United States and other countries from August to protect domestic producers.
Tariffs on frozen beef will jump to 50 percent from the current 38.5 percent between Aug. 1 and the end of March next year, as a “safeguard” mechanism to protect domestic farmers is being triggered, the ministry said in a statement.
The increase will be the first time the tariff mechanism has been tripped for beef imports since it was last triggered for chilled beef in August 2003, the farm ministry said.
The increase threatens a significant sector of United States’ access to the biggest Asian market for U.S. beef overall, just as President Donald Trump is trying to expand American exports to Japan
