Tariff Cut to Boost Foreign Trade
China said it will cut the import tariffs to an average of 12 per cent next year from the current 15.3 per cent to fulfil its World Trade Organization (WTO) commitments.

The country will cut import tariffs on industrial products to 11.6 per cent starting January 1, the Ministry of Finance said yesterday when China officially became a WTO member.

The country will also cut import tariffs on farm products to 15.8 per cent, the ministry said, without giving the current level of duties. The tariffs on textiles will fall to 17.6 per cent; on electronics to 10.7 per cent; and on machinery products to 9.6 per cent, the ministry said.

China has already cut tariffs five times between 1992 and 1999, lowering the average import tariff level from 43 per cent to 17 per cent. It also promised to drop its tariff level to 10 per cent by 2005.

The average tariff level of all WTO members is now about 6 per cent. It stands at 3 per cent in developed countries and 10 per cent in developing ones.

Economists said the tariff cut is "necessary," because China has yet to integrate itself into the international market.

"The cut in the import tariffs will be beneficial to further expanding China's foreign trade, especially imports," said Li Jingwen, an economist with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

More imports only mean more tariffs, Li said.

"The tariff cut will not have much effect on China's fiscal revenue and the country's sound economic development," he said. He said China's fiscal system is strong enough to deal with any further tariff cuts in the coming years.

The State Administration of Taxation figures indicate that China's tax revenues - excluding those from customs duties and agriculture taxes - reached 1.3 trillion yuan (US$151 billion) during the first 10 months of the year, a year-on-year increase of 21.1 per cent.

"China's WTO accession will further stimulate the national economy, which will give more resources to the taxation administration," Li said.

An earlier report from the academy predicted that next year, the growth rate of the gross domestic product (GDP) will be around 7 per cent to 8 per cent or even higher than the 7.5 per cent for 2001 if no major global crises occur.
