Under pressure from the U.S., Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance is proposing tariff cuts for some American agriculture products, from chicken to apples.

The government is reviewing the duties on some American products at the request of the U.S., according to a post on the ministry’s website.

The ministry proposes reducing the tariff on chicken to 18% from 20% while the U.S. is asking the duties be cut to 14.5% in 2020 and eliminated in 2028, the ministry said. The finance ministry proposes cutting pork duties to 22% from 25% currently and reducing the tariff on fresh apples and grapes to 8% in 2020 from 10%. Wheat duties could be cut to 3% next year from 5%.

The U.S. is requesting a cut in pork duties to 18.9% in 2020 and removing them in 2027. The embassy wants to see tariffs on apples, grapes and wheat abolished next year.
