China's Import Side: Tariff Reductions and Customs Clearance Facilitation
1. According to the 2026 tariff adjustment plan, several types of new energy vehicle components have implemented provisional import tariff rates lower than the most-favored-nation (MFN) rate: Fuel Cell Components: Import tariffs on core consumables such as membrane electrode assemblies and iridium oxide for fuel cells have been reduced. Electric Brakes: Electric brakes (including ECUs, pedal simulators, etc.) specifically for pure electric or hybrid vehicles are included in the tariff reduction scope. Battery Recycling Raw Materials: The provisional import tariff rate for "recycled black powder," a key material for lithium-ion battery recycling, has been reduced to 3% (the MFN rate is 6.5%), aiming to enrich the sources of lithium battery raw materials.
2. In September 2026, the General Administration of Customs issued an announcement clarifying the corresponding customs commodity codes for battery products. Among them, lithium-ion solid-state battery systems for pure electric vehicles have been assigned a special commodity code (8507600021), standardizing the import declaration of such cutting-edge products.
3: Jinshan District in Shanghai and other places have launched a 3C exemption service mechanism, which reduces the review time to 2 working days for core three-electric system components used for R&D and testing, and shortens the customs clearance time for a single batch of components from 15 days to 5 days, in order to accelerate R&D iteration.
