Henan's Exporters Benefited from the RCEP in Jan

RCEP实施首月 河南1.6亿元出口货物享关税减免

　　Many sectors across Central China's Henan province have benefited from the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the RCEP agreement), which took effect on Jan 1. Last month, Zhengzhou Customs issued 355 RCEP certificates of origin to 90 enterprises across the province, said a source from Zhengzhou Customs on February 9. With 160 million yuan of goods benefited from the RCEP agreement, 620 thousand yuan of tariffs was expected to be saved for them.

　　《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》（RCEP）自今年1月1日生效以来，我省已有多个行业尝到了关税减让的“甜头”。2月9日，据郑州海关统计，RCEP实施首月，该关共为全省90家企业签发355份RCEP原产地证书，享惠货物货值达1.6亿元，预计可减免进口国关税62万元。

　　Apart from textiles, Henan's export of chemical, agricultural and aluminum products to Japan, Australia, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam can also enjoy preferential tariffs. For example, Henan's export of furfuryl alcohol, sodium silicate, viscose rayon, cotton yarn and aluminum foil to Japan has enjoyed 0.3 to 0.5 percentage points of tariff reduction, while that of agricultural products like dried mushrooms and dried black fungus to Vietnam 3 percent. Besides, Australia has granted zero-tariff treatment to Henan's export of plastic flower pots and silica sols.

　　据介绍，我省主要出口享惠目的国包括日本、澳大利亚、泰国、新加坡和越南等，出口享惠商品主要集中在化工品、纺织品、农产品和铝制品等。如糠醇、硅酸钠、粘胶人造丝、棉纱、铝箔等首次享受到日本0.3至0.5个百分点的税率优惠；出口到越南的干制香菇、干黑木耳等农产品关税优惠3%；出口到澳大利亚的塑料花盆、硅溶胶等商品税率直降为零。

　　"The RCEP came into effect for South Korea on February 1, and will come into force for Malaysia on March 18. More enterprises will be benefited from the RCEP in the future."

　　“2月1日，RCEP对韩国生效，3月18日，RCEP还将对马来西亚生效，随着生效国的进一步扩大，关税减让红利将加速释放。”郑州海关相关负责人说。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/孙静 编译/赵汉青 王家琦 海报/王君艺 审校/李文竞）
