Japan Intends To Increase Import Tariffs On Commodities, Clothing And Agricultural Products In China

According to the Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan's largest newspaper, the Japanese government decided to increase import tariffs of over 400 kinds of Chinese products on 28 th.

According to the plan formulated by the Japanese government, the products that will be imported from China will not enjoy the preferential tariff system in the future, and the products will increase from 13 to about 450.

Product category involves daily necessities, clothing, agricultural products and so on.

The Japanese government plans to submit the plan at the beginning of next year's Congress, and it will be formally implemented in April 1st.

What will this impact on Zhejiang's foreign trade enterprises?

Exports of primary consumer products will be affected.

Tatami has a large sales volume in the domestic market, and most of these products come from China.

Mr. Chen's factory specializes in the production of tatami exports to Japan in the suburbs of Hangzhou, but recently he is trying to turn to high-tech agricultural products. "

"Every year I export Japanese products to 10% of all products, mainly for the processing of bamboo products from Japanese foreign trade enterprises."

Wang Xiaoping, director of Huzhou small bamboo products Co., Ltd., said that the demand for bamboo products increased year by year in recent years, and that his product sales were better than a year in a year. Because of the finished products, the profit margins were relatively large, even without the preferential tariff system.

He said that the export of low profit primary products may be greatly affected, which in turn has some pressure on Japanese domestic importers.

The first reaction of Miss Ma is that the total volume of exports next year will be reduced. Her foreign trade companies are mainly exporting clothing and daily necessities, and the customer market is mainly distributed in Europe, America and Japan. "Japan abolished the preferential tariff system for some of the categories of products in China, and the corresponding importers sought for more preferential importing countries, such as less developed countries.

As a thinner daily consumer goods, the sales volume of foreign trade products here will definitely decrease, but the market is global, and the impact will not be too great.

It is understood that in recent years, China's exports to Japan increased sharply, with annual imports exceeding 10 trillion yen.

Statistics show that Japan's preferential tariff rate is 5 billion 500 million yen, of which about 20% of China enjoy it. In 2010, 78 products in 36 areas, preferential tariff has been applied, and the ceiling has reached 500 or more varieties.

Japan believes that lowering the utilization ceiling of a country will reduce the share of China's utilization so that it can benefit other developing countries.

Foreign trade data show that the Japanese market is currently the third largest market for Zhejiang's import and export trade except for Europe and the United States.

Japanese economic news is made of silk.

According to Japanese media reports, Japan has been implementing a preferential tariff system with low tax rates for products imported from developing countries such as China from the perspective of supporting economic development.

But considering that China will surpass Japan as the second largest economy in the world, the Japanese government believes that if it continues to implement the system for Chinese products, it will deviate from its original intention of helping the poor.
