China will lower tariffs on more than 850 products ranging from frozen pork to avocado in 2020, reports CNBC. The tariff changes were made to “increase imports of products facing a relative domestic shortage, or foreign specialty goods for everyday consumption,” the ministry said in a statement on its website.
