# Chinese tariff relief welcomed by B.C. crab harvesters

> China extended tariff exemptions for Canadian crab and lobster through the end of 2028, avoiding a 25% tariff that had applied to Canadian seafood. British Columbia’s crab sector relies on China for roughly 90% of its exports, and Canadian officials promoted seafood access during a recent visit to China.
