ChinaCustoms — Frequently Asked Questions
Why does China use 13-digit HS codes?
China extends the international 6-digit HS code to 13 digits for highly detailed product classification and statistical purposes. The first 8 digits form the tariff code used for duty calculation. The additional digits provide further specification used by Chinese customs for trade statistics.
What is the MFN duty rate and how does it apply?
MFN (Most Favoured Nation) rates are China's standard import duties applied to WTO member countries. China also has preferential rates for countries it has free trade agreements with, including ASEAN, Australia, New Zealand, and others under RCEP. The applicable rate depends on the product's country of origin.
What is GACC registration and when is it required?
GACC registration is required for overseas food and agricultural product manufacturers, processors, and storage facilities exporting to China. It is mandatory for products including meat, aquatic products, dairy, honey, and certain other food categories. Registration must be obtained before the first shipment.
