According to an announcement from the General Administration of Customs, Zhongshan Customs stopped collecting export tariffs on 80 of the 148 types of textile products that were levied on January 1, 2005. Zhongshan-related enterprises that were troubled by the news of significant tariff increases on 74 types of textiles some time ago were all happy when they heard the good news.
In response to the current international trade situation in textiles, China announced on May 20 that it would impose significant additional tariffs on 74 out of 148 types of textiles. However, the United States still insists on setting restrictions on seven types of Chinese textiles, and the European Union also announced the launch of “emergency special protection” on two types of Chinese textiles. Under this situation, the State Council approved the suspension of tariffs on 80 of the 148 types of textiles starting from June 1, 2005. Announcement No. 22 of the General Administration of Customs in 2005 was issued to Zhongshan Customs the day before yesterday and was officially implemented in Zhongshan Customs District yesterday. Zhongshan textile companies, which had been “disturbed” by the news of a large increase in tariffs earlier, were overjoyed to hear the news and believed that this was a positive response measure taken by the government to protect the healthy development of the textile industry under the current complex situation. Previously, affected by the news of substantial increase in tariffs on 74 types of textiles, some Zhongshan companies rushed to export before June 1. The Zhongshan Customs Office in Shiqi handled as many as 89 taxed textile exports last Wednesday. , the tax amount was more than 120,000 yuan; on June 1, the enterprises that had taken the “reassurance” slowed down. The Shiqi Office of the Customs handled 18 tickets for similar business, and the tax amount was only more than 8,000 yuan.
It is understood that this adjustment, in addition to suspending export tariffs on 80 types of textiles, will also increase export tariff rates for 6 types of textiles under 5 8-digit tax items among 148 types of textiles, with an increase of 2-10 times the original rate. According to the person in charge of Zhongshan Customs Shiqi Office, most of these six textiles are not the mainstream products of Zhongshan’s textile exports, and most of them are seasonal products, so it is believed that they will have little impact on Zhongshan’s textile industry.
The new content of this adjustment also includes that starting from June 10, textiles originating in Hong Kong and Macao and processed in the mainland through OPA can be exempted from exporting from the mainland with an outbound mainland processing certificate issued by Hong Kong and Macao. levy export duties.
