Tariffs for more than 100 imported products will be lowered next year


Beijing News (Reporter Wu Zhanyu Yu Chunlai Xue Li) At the end of the year, people once again paid attention to the adjustment of import and export duties next year. Starting from January 1, next year, will the price of imported automobiles be further reduced? Will the export of textile enterprises, which has repeatedly been restricted by Europe and the United States, be supported by the government?

Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Office of the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council that from January 1, 2006, China will stop collecting textile export tariffs. At the same time, China will further reduce tariffs on more than 100 tariffs based on its tariff reduction commitments after joining the WTO, which involves products such as vegetable oils, chemical raw materials, automobiles and auto parts.

What impact does the adjustment of these tariffs have on ordinary people's lives and business operations?

The overall tariff level is still 9.9%

According to the relevant person in charge of the Customs Tariff Commission, since China had previously fulfilled most of its tax reduction obligations, the rate of decline in tax rates and the number of tax lines in 2006 have been significantly reduced, with little impact on the overall level of tariffs. In general, the total tariff level in 2006 was still 9.9%, which was in line with the total tariff level in 2005. Among them, the average tax rate for agricultural products is 15.2%, and the average tax rate for industrial products is 9.0%. In 2006, China will also adjust some of its tax items. After adjustment, the total number of tax items will increase from 7,550 in 2005 to 7,605.

In terms of different industries, in 2006 China eliminated the tariff quotas for soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil, and continued to implement tariff quota management on 7 kinds of agricultural products such as wheat and corn, and 3 types of fertilizers such as diammonium phosphate. Imported a certain amount of cotton continued to implement sliding tariffs, and continued to implement specific taxes and compound taxes on 55 kinds of products such as frozen chickens, beer, films, and cameras, and adjusted some of the specific tax rates according to changes in the average import prices; More than 200 imported goods are subject to a provisional tax rate.

Decrease in import tariffs

Car prices are not affected

The import tariffs on products such as automobiles and auto parts will face a fifth reduction next year. Although the State Council’s Customs Tariff Commission Office disclosed the news yesterday, they did not publish specific reduction rates.

Auto analysts believe that this downgrade will not bring significant impact and impact on the current auto market. For consumers, this downgrade does not necessarily lead to a downward trend in auto prices.

According to China’s commitment to join the WTO, China’s tariff on imported cars with less than 3 liters will be reduced from 70% in 2001 to 25% on July 1, 2006. The tariff on imported cars larger than 3 liters decreased from 80% in 2001 to 25% on July 1, 2006. Tariffs on imported auto parts dropped from about 25% in 2001 to 10% on July 1, 2006. In the new round of this year's downward adjustment, China's import vehicle tariffs have dropped to 30%, and auto parts tariffs have dropped to 13%.

However, Song Bingkun, an auto industry analyst at CITIC, believes that as the reduction of automobile tariffs has started since 2002, the number of these years has been reduced in a step-by-step manner, and the major impact has appeared in the previous few adjustments. Therefore, the tariff reduction next year can be said to have no major impact.

On the other hand, the cars imported by China are generally high-end cars. The price of such cars is not measured by the tariffs themselves. They are priced out of high-end consumer brands and have nothing to do with their own costs. Therefore, tariff reductions are There is no effect on the models.

Stop export tariffs textile companies are pleased

"It was time to do this." Lu Longsheng, general manager of Shanghai Pegasus Import & Export Trading Co., Ltd. exclaimed to reporters: "Chinese enterprises can finally enjoy an equal market position."

China's textile companies are delighted at the news that China will stop collecting textile export tariffs from January 1 next year.

It is understood that according to the provisions of the World Trade Organization, since January 1, 2005, the global textile and apparel exports will no longer be subject to quota restrictions. As a big textile country, in order to maintain the stability of the world's textile industry after integration, our country has voluntarily decided that from January 1, 2005, we will collect clothing, skirts, non-knit shirts, knitted shirts, pajamas and underwear by specific taxes. Such six categories of 148 textile products levied an export tariff of RMB 0.2-0.5 per unit.

According to Ma Xinzheng, an analyst at Shanghai Shizhiwei Textile Consulting Co., Ltd., this is generally a good thing for Chinese companies. The export cost has been reduced and the competitiveness in the international market will surely increase. At the same time, he also raised doubts. "If China's textile exports grow too fast next year, according to the current international economic and trade situation, no one can rule out that Europe and the United States have the possibility of setting limits again on China."

Ma Xinzheng said that enterprises should rationalize the news of the cancellation of tariffs, and should not be allowed to follow suit, blindly export in large quantities, and obtain immediate benefits; local competent authorities should also assess the situation, to guide and strengthen the management of possible shortsighted behaviors. At the same time, domestic textile companies can also adjust their strategies appropriately and strengthen the export of products from non-restricted countries outside Europe and the United States. After all, a stable trade environment is the guarantee for business development.

Lu Longsheng revealed to reporters that, in fact, most textile types have already cancelled export tariffs. Therefore, the full cancellation of the start of next year will not have a great impact on companies because the company has already adjusted its product structure.

Since the end of 2004, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council has made decisions and adjustments on China's textile export tariffs on four occasions. So far, 51 kinds of textiles are still collecting tariffs.
