Recently, the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Trade, China General Customs and five other Chinese government bodies jointly issued an announcement to optimize and adjust the list of permissible cross-border eCommerce products; this takes effect today, the 1st of March 2022. The changes from the previous list (2019 edition) are:
- 29 items that have seen strong growth in consumer demand in recent years including articles of ski equipment, household dishwasher machines, and tomato juice have been added;
- tariff number 930700900 ('swords, cutlasses, bayonets, spears, and similar weapons and parts thereof) has been removed;
- the 'tariff number' based indexing of goods has been adjusted, and some of the descriptions of listed commodities have been adjusted and optimised according to regulatory requirements;
- 115 new tariff numbers were added to further specify those items, and 80 outdated tariff numbers were taken off the list;
- the descriptions of 206 items were revised to further specify the products;
These changes will have impacts on the market entry and import tariffs for products sold through B2C cross-border eCommerce channels in China.
Below is the full list of changes (Chinese version, official English version has not been published yet).
