Brazil govt unclear whether beef in transit to China subject to new import quotas
SAO PAULO, Jan 6 (Reuters) - The Brazilian government still does not know whether beef in transit to China after Beijing announced measures to protect its domestic industry will be considered part of the new import quotas, a government official said on Tuesday.
Herlon Brandao, head of the statistic department of Brazil's trade ministry, said volumes in transit represent "a small" amount in relation to the total beef exported by Brazil to China last year, around 1.5 million metric tons.
