China will adjust tariffs on some steel products to lower import costs as part of efforts to push the industry s upgrading and transformation.
Starting on May 1, China will apply a provisional zero import tax rate on pig iron, crude steel, recycled steel raw materials, and ferrochrome, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council said in a circular.
Export tariffs on ferrosilicon, ferrochrome, and high-purity pig iron would be raised to 25 percent, 20 percent, and 15 percent, respectively.
The adjustment is aimed at reducing import costs, expanding steel imports, supporting domestic producers to cut crude steel output, guiding the industry to cut energy consumption, and pushing industrial upgrading and high-quality development in the sector, according to the circular.
