Taiwan has agreed to resume trade in US boneless beef from animals under 30 months of age. It initially reopened its market to US beef in April 2005, but closed it again in June following the confirmation of a second US case of BSE.

In 2003, the United States exported more than $76 million worth of beef to Taiwan, with boneless beef products accounting for $56 million. Taiwan's market is now open to more than 90% of total US ruminant and ruminant products whose value reached $325 million in 2003.
