China has recently announced significant adjustments to its import and export tariffs, effective from January 1, 2024. The decision, revealed on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, by the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council, is part of a broader effort to align with a new development concept and promote the establishment of a new development pattern. These adjustments are intended to bolster high-quality development, innovative practices, and the advanced manufacturing sector.

The revised tariff policies maintain the tariff quota management for eight categories of goods, including wheat, with no changes in tax rates. Among these categories, three types of chemical fertilizers (urea, compound fertilizer, and ammonium hydrogen phosphate) will continue to be subjected to a tentative tax rate of 1%. Additionally, sliding tariffs will persist on a specific quantity of cotton imported beyond the quota.

In accordance with the Free Trade Agreement between China and Nicaragua, the initial-year tariff rates specified in the agreement will be applied to certain imported Nicaraguan goods. The early harvest tariff concessions from the China-Nicaragua Free Trade Agreement will be integrated into the comprehensive agreement. When the most-favored-nation tax rate is equal to or lower than the agreement rate, the relevant agreement’s provisions, if available, will apply. Otherwise, the lower rate will be applicable.

The announcement underscores the continuation of sliding tariffs on a designated quantity of cotton imported beyond the quota. Furthermore, these tariff adjustments account for existing free trade agreements and preferential trade arrangements, resulting in reduced import taxes for products originating from countries including New Zealand, Peru, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Iceland, South Korea, Australia, Pakistan, Mauritius, and Cambodia. Agreements like the Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement and the “Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement” (ECFA) will continue as before. Notably, zero-tariff treatment will remain in place for 43 least developed countries, although Vanuatu will no longer be included. Export tariffs will continue to apply to 107 commodities, including ferrochrome, with provisional export tariffs for 68 items. Detailed information on tariff adjustments and applicable items can be found in the attached appendices. These measures are expected to shape China’s economic landscape by addressing domestic supply and demand while fostering international trade relationships.

The recent announcement of import and export tariff adjustments in China is anticipated to have a significant impact on the chemical commodities market, potentially affecting key substances like ethylene, propylene, and liquid crystal glass substrates of fewer than 6 generations. These changes may pose challenges for overseas traders in sourcing materials, potentially leading to a shift in demand towards alternative regions. Increased tariffs on specific chemicals, driven by domestic needs, may raise import costs, resulting in higher prices for these commodities in the domestic market. Conversely, tariff exemptions for essential medical goods, including pharmaceutical raw materials, could positively influence the chemical sector by reducing production expenses for medical manufacturers, potentially resulting in stable or lower prices for medical products. The introduction of provisional import tax rates for various commodities introduces market uncertainty, possibly causing price fluctuations as businesses adapt to the new tax structures. The continuation of sliding tariffs on cotton may impact textile and chemical industries, potentially increasing costs for those reliant on imported cotton. On a positive note, reduced import taxes on chemicals from countries with free trade agreements may contribute to more competitive pricing, benefiting industries dependent on these imported chemicals. In summary, these tariff adjustments are poised to reshape the chemical commodities market, affecting prices and supply dynamics across various sectors.
