Taiwan will now allow the indirect import of 27 additional agricultural and industrial products from the mainland.

The 27 items include 26 industrial products, such as Ethernet adapters and image scanners, and one agricultural product, pumpkin powder. These additional products elevate the number of mainland agricultural and industrial products that Taiwan firms can indirectly import to 5,804, or 56.6 percent of the total 10,246 products currently allowed, the article said. Industrial products account for 65.1 percent, or 5,321 items, the article said.
