New Policy on Export Tax Rebates for Daily Necessities Takes Effect on April 1st: Structural Adjustments Guide Foreign Trade Enterprises to Upgrade Starting from April 1st, the 2026 export tax rebate adjustment policy for daily necessities (Announcement No. 2) has officially taken effect. Focusing on structural adjustments, it adopts “selective reductions and protections” for tax rebates of ceramics, household items and batteries, with the customs declaration export date as the sole criterion, affecting enterprises’ costs and profits and promoting the industry’s shift to high-quality development. Traditional daily necessities (e.g., ceramics, ordinary glass) have their tax rebate rate cut from 3%-9% to 0% without a transition period. Civilian batteries will see a rate drop from 9% to 6% (Apr-Dec 2026) and full abolition in 2027. Meanwhile, high-value-added products (e.g., high-end home textiles, eco-friendly household goods) are supported, with some tax rebates raised from 11% to 13%. A taxation official said the adjustment is not “one-size-fits-all” but aims to optimize the industry and promote green, branded development. A late-March customs declaration rush occurred as enterprises rushed to lock in tax rebates. A Guangzhou foreign trade enterprise noted zero tax rebate for ceramic tableware has increased costs, leading to price negotiations and order adjustments. Compliant declaration is key: accurate HS code declaration and complete document filing are required, with strict inspection on irregularities. Export tax rebates are fully electronized for higher efficiency. Taxation and customs departments have provided policy guidance. Insiders said short-term pressure will accelerate industry reshuffling, urging enterprises to increase R&D and expand high-value-added products and cross-border e-commerce. A Ministry of Commerce spokesperson stated the adjustment optimizes foreign trade structure. Relevant departments will optimize tax rebate services to help enterprises transition and boost high-quality daily necessities exports.

China Strengthens Export Controls on Dual-Use Items to Regulate Foreign Trade Order Since the beginning of 2026, China has achieved remarkable results in upgrading export control measures for dual-use items. This upgrade not only implements the requirements of relevant regulations but also aligns with the needs of the foreign trade industry. Through full-chain supervision, while safeguarding national security and fulfilling international obligations, it regulates foreign trade operations, and supports the high-quality development of foreign trade and the stability of global industrial and supply chains. Dual-use items refer to goods, technologies, and services that have both civil and military uses and may be used in fields related to weapons of mass destruction, which are a key focus of China’s foreign trade supervision. The core principle of China’s control is to balance security and development, ensure the smooth flow of legitimate foreign trade, and strictly prevent relevant items from flowing into sensitive areas. This control focuses on key strategic items in the foreign trade field such as tungsten and rare earths, refines the control list, and strengthens approval and port supervision. In February 2025, 25 tungsten-related items were included in the control list, requiring special permits for export; in January 2026, the measures were tightened, prohibiting the export of tungsten products to relevant Japanese military enterprises and implementing “penetrating supervision”. The General Administration of Customs stated that China has established a full-chain supervision system, abolished the registration of export operators, implemented paperless license management, optimized the approval and inspection processes, and guided enterprises to avoid risks through compliance training. The upgrade of controls has affected the global foreign trade pattern and promoted the optimization of China’s foreign trade structure, leading to a rise in global tungsten prices and forcing enterprises to strengthen compliance construction and transform to high-value-added fields. The Ministry of Commerce stated that the policy is in line with domestic laws and international practices, and it will dynamically adjust the control list and strengthen international cooperation in the future. Insiders believe that strengthening controls not only safeguards national security but also regulates foreign trade order, and subsequent efforts will deepen inter-departmental coordination to support the steady and long-term development of foreign trade.
