The ITC also announced that Taiwan would allow the indirect import of 15 new items from mainland China, including concentrated carbonic acid resin. These 15 items will bring the total allowable number of indirect imports from mainland China up to 5,803.
Indirect imports are goods that pass through an additional country or economy prior to import.
Taiwanese manufacturers and other associations first recommended for import 91 items from mainland China, which the ITC then examined. Among the examined items were 24 categories of marble and granite products recommended by the General Administration of Taxation and 27 types of shoes proposed by a Taiwan shoe making association, the story said.
