SEOUL, June 21 (Xinhua) -- South Korea will extend tax reduction on 35 imports such as pork and garlic in an effort to ease potential price hikes, the finance ministry said Tuesday.

Meanwhile, 14 more items will be added to the list of imports subject to lower tariff by year-end, according to the ministry. They include breeding pigs, silicon and manganese.
