Customs duty rates on imports include most-favored-nation (MFN) duty rates, conventional duty rates, special preferential duty rates, tariff rate quota (TRQ) duty rates, general duty rates, and provisional duty rates for imports that may be implemented for a specified period of time. Customs duty rates on exports are set with one type. But likewise, there might also be provisional duty rates for exports that can be implemented for a specified period of time.


VOC
On March 4, 2020,the Standardization Administration of the People’s Republic of China (SAC) released four mandatory national standards on VOCs in coatings, adhesives, inks and cleaning agents. These new standards would affect enterprises using these products in the electrical and electronics industry, a ‘three-year action plan to win the battle for a blue sky’, in a bid to improve air quality. The plan proposes the implementation of special volatile organic compound (VOC) remediation plans for the petrochemical, chemical, industrial coating, packaging, printing and other key VOC emitting industries. It also proposes a ban on the production and use of high VOC-containing solvent-based coatings, inks, adhesives, etc. in key areas, and the implementation of special enforcement actions for VOCs, with the aim to reduce their total emission by more than 10% in 2020 when compared to 2015.
