Representative to the US Alexander Yui, third right, and American Institute in Taiwan Washington office Managing Director Ingrid Larson, third left, hold copies of a Taiwan-US trade agreement in Washington yesterday. Of the 2,072 items, 261 are agricultural products such as Phalaenopsis orchids, tea, tapioca starch, coffee, pineapple cakes, guava, fruit juices and mangoes, the Cabinet said. Meanwhile, Taiwan has agreed to eliminate or reduce 99 percent of its tariff barriers on US industrial and agricultural imports, the Office of the US Trade Representative said. Under the agreement, Taiwan has also agreed to remove quantitative restrictions on US motor vehicles and accept those that meet US safety and emissions standards, the office said. The reciprocal trade agreement followed nearly a year of trade negotiations between Taiwan and the US, and builds on agreements reached last month.
