Recently, the State Council announced the "Notice of the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council on the 2022 Tariff Adjustment Plan".

The "Notice" pointed out that from January 1, 2022, my country will implement a provisional import tax rate lower than the most-favored-nation tax rate for 954 commodities. From July 1, 2022, seven information technology agreements will be cancelled to expand the provisional import tax rate of products.

Among them, products related to new chemical materials include polylactic acid, polyvinyl butyral film (thickness not exceeding 3 mm), polyimide film (thickness not exceeding 0.03 mm), battery separator, ethylene polymer battery separator, trimellitic anhydride and isocyanic acid precondensation polymer, aryl acid and arylamine precondensation polymer, modified trihydroxyethyl urate precondensation polymer, polytetramethylene ether glycol, adiponitrile (key raw material of nylon 66) ), diphenyl carbonate (polycarbonate raw material), etc.

For liquefied propane, liquefied butane, ethylene, propylene, acrylonitrile, adiponitrile, etc., it can be seen that the tentative import tax rate in 2022 is significantly lower than the most-favored-nation tax rate. The tax rate for all products has been adjusted to 1%.

In terms of tariff quota rates, tariff quota management will continue to be implemented for eight categories of commodities, including wheat, corn, paddy and rice, sugar, wool, wool tops, cotton, and fertilizers, and the tax rates will remain unchanged. Among them, the quota tax rate of urea, compound fertilizer and ammonium hydrogen phosphate fertilizers will continue to implement the provisional import tax rate, and the tax rate will remain unchanged. Continue to implement sliding tax on a certain amount of cotton imported outside the quota, and the tax rate will remain unchanged.
