The State Council decided last Wednesday to further cut tariffs on a number of imported goods starting July 1.

國(guó)務(wù)院上周三決定，自7月1日起將進(jìn)一步降低一系列進(jìn)口商品的關(guān)稅。

Average tariff rates for clothes, shoes, hats, kitchenware and sports products will be reduced to 7.1% from the current 15.9%, according to a statement released after the meeting.

根據(jù)會(huì)后發(fā)布的聲明，服裝鞋帽、廚房和體育健身用品的進(jìn)口關(guān)稅平均稅率將由15.9%降至7.1%。

Further tariff cuts will be beneficial to opening-up and meet public demand, which will also push forward quality improvements and industrial upgrading, the statement said.

聲明中指出，進(jìn)一步的降低關(guān)稅，將有利于擴(kuò)大開(kāi)放和滿足公共需求，這也將推動(dòng)產(chǎn)品提質(zhì)和產(chǎn)業(yè)升級(jí)。

It also said related departments should strictly carry out the policy and prevent any price increases by middlemen as a result.

該聲明還稱，有關(guān)部門(mén)應(yīng)嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行該政策，防止中間商漲價(jià)。
