　　问：据报道，中国在港口清关时对从美国进口的汽车、木材、水果等产品采取额外检查措施，增加了清关时间。这是否属实？是否是针对美拟征收关税的反制措施？ 

　　答：我不了解你说的情况，你可以向主管部门询问。 

　　作为原则，我想指出，中方一贯奉行依法依规、科学公正的原则，对进口商品进行检验和检疫工作。 

Q: There were reports that US cars, logs, fruits and other products are being held up during customs clearance for added inspections. Is this true? And if so, is this retaliation for US trade tariffs?

A: I am not aware of the situation mentioned by you, and I would like to refer you to competent authorities. 

In principle, I want to point out that China always adopts the scientific and unbiased method to conduct inspection and quarantine of imports in accordance with laws and regulations.
