Reduction in Non-Tariff Measures on Imports

Starting from January 15, China will reduce non-tariff measures concerning the import of 22 categories of electrical and mechanical products.

These products include snow mobiles and golf carts of different types, sources from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation (MOFTEC) said in Beijing Sunday.

China's non-tariff measures on electrical and mechanical products include import quota and some particular means of import management. Except these non-tariff measures, China's imports are also managed through an automatic registration system.

The MOFTEC said the reduction on non-tariff measures, the eighth since 1992, is an important approach in China's opening-up drive.
