BEIJING: Export registrations for more than 1,000 U.S. meat plants granted by China under the 2020 "Phase 1" trade deal lapsed on Sunday, China's customs website showed, threatening U.S. exports to the world's largest buyer amid an ongoing tariff standoff.
The registration status for pork, beef and poultry plants across the U.S., including some owned by major producers Tyson Foods, Smithfield Packaged Meats and Cargill Meat Solutions, was changed from "effective" to "expired", according to the website of China's General Administration of Customs.
