BEIJING, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- China will apply provisional import tariff rates lower than the most-favored-nation rates on 935 items from Jan. 1, 2026, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council announced on Monday.
The move aims to enhance synergy between domestic and international markets, and to leverage the resources of both in an improved manner while expanding the supply of high-quality goods, according to a commission circular.
China will, for example, reduce tariffs on certain key components and advanced materials to support high-level technological self-reliance, on certain resources to facilitate green development, and on some medical products, including artificial blood vessels, to improve people's well-being.
The country will also optimize tariff headings and national subheading notes next year. To support technological advancement and the development of sectors such as the circular economy, China will add national subheadings for products including intelligent bionic robots and bio-aviation kerosene.
To deepen economic and trade cooperation and promote regional integration, the country will continue applying agreed tariff rates to certain imported goods originating from its 34 trading partners in 2026, in accordance with 24 free trade agreements and preferential trade arrangements signed with the above-mentioned trading partners.
Next year, China will also maintain zero-tariff treatment on 100 percent of tariff lines to the 43 least developed countries having established diplomatic relations with China.

This reflects a common and critical challenge when entering the Chinese market—the information barrier.
