AmCham China president says pharma companies have reported tariff exemptions on China imports

BEIJING, April 25 (Reuters) - American Chamber of Commerce in China President Michael Hart said companies in the pharmaceutical sector had reported that they had been able to import drugs to China in the past week with tariff exemptions.

He said he believed that the exemptions granted by China were drug-specific, not industry wide in nature.

Reuters had previously quoted Hart as saying that some companies had reported some goods were being granted tariff exemptions without specifying that the reports were from pharmaceutical companies.
