Sri Lanka Import Restrictions Won't Have Large Impact on US, USDA Says

A recent raft of import restrictions by the Sri Lankan government should have a “limited impact” on U.S. agricultural exporters in terms of trade value, USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service said in a report this month. The restrictions apply to various “non-essential items,” USDA said, including food and agricultural products such as milk, chocolate, tree nuts and certain “food preparations.” The report includes a table of affected items along with their Harmonized System codes.
