加拿大渔业部长将于本月底前往中国，以应对即将到期的关税问题——这些关税将对龙虾和蟹类产业产生重大影响。
Canada's fisheries minister will be travelling to China at the end of the month, ahead of a looming tariff deadline affecting the lobster and crab industries.
根据今年1月达成的协议，中国暂时暂停了对加拿大龙虾和蟹类产品征收25%的关税，这一措施将持续到年底。
As part of an agreement in January, China suspended a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian lobster and crab until the end of the year.
目前尚不清楚该关税减免措施是否会延长；因此，龙虾和蟹类产业仍不确定能否继续顺利进入这个重要的海产品市场。
It's still not clear whether the suspension will be extended, leaving the lobster and crab industries uncertain if they will soon have reduced access to a major seafood market.
加拿大渔业部长乔安妮·汤普森（Joanne Thompson）的办公室周四确认，她计划前往中国讨论这一议题以及其他关键问题。
Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson is planning a trip to China to discuss this and other key topics, her office confirmed on Thursday.
一位发言人表示，部长希望通过此次访问“加强与中方同行的贸易关系，探讨加拿大鱼类及海产品的市场准入问题，并继续支持加拿大的渔业从业者，帮助他们将更多海产品销往全球市场”。
In a statement, a spokesperson said the minister aims to "deepen trade relationships with her counterparts, discuss market access for Canadian fish and seafood products and continue supporting Canadian harvesters and industry to get more seafood to market around the world."
这些关税影响了加拿大约80%的对华海产品出口；这些关税是在渥太华对中国的钢铁、铝制品和电动汽车征收关税后于2025年实施的。
The duties impact about 80 per cent of Canadian seafood exports to China and were imposed in 2025, after Ottawa slapped tariffs on Chinese steel, aluminum and electric vehicles.
尽管加拿大财政部长已经离开中国，但针对中国的猪肉关税仍然有效。一些在北京的加拿大人认为，现在是时候在中国开展商业活动了。
根据加拿大渔业与海洋部（DFO）的贸易数据，蟹类和龙虾产品占加拿大对华海产品出口总量的大部分。

汤普森的发言人表示：“中国是加拿大第二大海产品出口市场；稳定的市场准入对加拿大渔业及海产品产业的未来发展至关重要。”
"China is Canada's second-largest seafood export partner, and predictable market access is imperative to the future success of Canada's fish and seafood industry," said a spokesperson for Thompson in a statement.
“我们正在加强贸易合作关系，并努力推动加拿大渔业产业向新的市场拓展。”预计汤普森将于周四在新不伦瑞克省的蒙克顿市与加拿大大西洋地区的同行们共同发表相关声明。
"We are growing our trading partnerships and building up Canadian industry to diversify into new markets." On Thursday, Thompson is expected to make an announcement in Moncton, N.B., alongside her Atlantic Canadian counterparts.
今年1月，中国同意降低油菜籽关税，并暂停对海鲜及部分农产品征收关税，以换取加拿大允许每年以大幅降低的关税税率进口4.9万辆中国电动汽车。
In January, China agreed to lower tariffs on canola seed and suspend them on seafood and some agricultural products, in exchange for Canada allowing the import of 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles per year at a much lower tariff rate.
