With effect from 1 January 2016, the Chinese Government has introduced reduced temporary duties on an additional list of products, supplementing the list of goods that have been subject to provisional tariff reductions since 2014.

The complete list, which is attached, now comprises 787 products.

The attached Excel file contains two lists:
- the first shows all products benefiting from the temporary tariff reduction for 2016 (those already present in previous years are highlighted in different colours).

- the second contains only those products benefiting from a duty reduction as of this year.

This is a significant measure affecting various production sectors, including some of primary interest to Italian exports, such as several sub-sectors within Chapter 84 (machinery).
