80 kinds of textiles cease to levy export tariffs in June

According to the announcement of the General Administration of Customs, from the day before yesterday, Zhongshan Customs ceased to impose export duties on 80 of the 148 types of textile products that had been subject to export tariffs on January 1, 2005. In the past, Zhongshan-related companies plagued by 74 tariffs on tariffs on textiles were all affected by the news.

In response to the current international trade situation in textiles, China announced on May 20th that it would impose tariffs on 74 of the 148 types of textile products. However, the United States still insists on setting limits on China's seven types of textiles, and the European Union has also announced the launch of an "emergency" for two kinds of Chinese textiles. Under this situation, the State Council approved that since June 1, 2005, tariffs on 80 of the 148 types of textiles will cease. The General Administration of Customs issued an announcement on the 22nd of 2005 to the Zhongshan Customs the day before and was formally implemented in the Zhongshan District yesterday. The Zhongshan Textiles company that had “nurtured” the previous sharp increase in tariffs was overjoyed that this was a positive response to the government’s efforts to protect the healthy development of the textile industry in the current complex situation. Previously, affected by the sharp increase of tariffs on 74 kinds of textile products, some Zhongshan companies rushed to slam export before June 1. Sanya office of Zhongshan Customs lodged taxable textile export business up to 89 votes on Wednesday. The tax amounted to more than 120,000 yuan. On June 1st, enterprises that took "tenting pills" slowed down. Customs Shiqi Office handled 18 votes for similar businesses and the tax amount was only 8,000 yuan.

It is understood that this adjustment, in addition to the withdrawal of import tariffs on 80 kinds of textiles, increases the export tariff rate on 6 kinds of textiles under 5 items of 8 items in 148 kinds of textiles, which is an increase of 2-10 times. According to the person in charge of the Shiqi Office of the People's Republic of China Customs, most of the six kinds of textiles are not mainstream products of Zhongshan Textiles' exports, and most of them are seasonal products. Therefore, it is believed that the impact on Zhongshan Textile Industry is not significant.

The new content of the adjustment also includes, since June 10th, textiles originating in Hong Kong and Macao, processed through the OPA method in the Mainland, and issued by Hong Kong and Macao to be issued for processing in the Mainland will be exempt from export duties when exported from the Mainland. .
