中国宣布对多种非洲商品实施零关税政策，以缓解与非洲大陆的巨大贸易失衡。该政策自5月1日起生效，为期两年。商务部表示，符合原产地和检疫要求的商品将享受零关税待遇。
中国海关关税税则委员会推出新政策，使非洲多种产品免关税进入中国市场。这一举措旨在缩小中国与非洲的贸易逆差。
受惠产品包括非洲鳗鱼、冷冻肉类以及稀土等商品，还涵盖铁矿石、锰矿和稀土金属等关键原材料和矿产。象牙海岸和加纳的可可将免除高达22%的关税，肯尼亚咖啡免除30%的关税，南非葡萄酒免除20%的关税。
“5月1日后，这些产品只要符合相关原产地和检验检疫要求，即可享受零关税，”中国商务部表示。该政策为期两年，覆盖海鲜至关键矿产等多种类别的产品。
分析师敦促北京进一步投资非洲工业产能，以创造更平衡的关系。尽管关税削减，但贸易差距仍需更多措施来弥合。
