EffectiveDate: 2024-06-15
Taiwan unilaterally adopts discriminatory measures such as prohibitions and restrictions on the export of products from the mainland, which violates the provisions of the Cross Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement. On December 21, 2023, the State Council Tariff Commission issued Announcement No. 9 of 2023, suspending tariff reductions for some products under the Cross Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement. However, Taiwan has not yet taken any effective measures to lift trade restrictions on the mainland.
According to the Cross Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement, the State Council Tariff and Tariff Commission has issued a notice deciding to further suspend tariff reductions for some products under the Cross Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement. Starting from June 15, 2024, the tariff rates under the Cross Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement will be suspended for 134 imported products, including lubricants and base oils, originating from Taiwan, and will be implemented in accordance with current relevant regulations. Please refer to the attached announcement for the detailed list.
Policy interpretation
The Taiwan authorities have been unilaterally imposing discriminatory trade restrictions on the mainland for a long time, violating the provisions of the Cross Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) on "gradually reducing or eliminating tariff and non-tariff barriers to substantial majority of goods trade between the two sides." This not only harms the interests of enterprises on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, but also harms the well-being of compatriots on both sides.
