China rolling back tax rebate on copper & aluminium products

China declared that, as of December 1, 2024, the export tax refund for copper and aluminium products would no longer be available.

Copper and aluminium exports from China were previously eligible for a 13 per cent tax rebate.

Large volumes of luminium have traditionally been exported by China's aluminium industry as semi-finished goods that are either remelted into commodity-grade shapes or utilised in value-added manufacturing.

Chinese metal exports

5.7 million tonnes (MT) of aluminium were exported by China in 2023. Compared to the previous year, shipments rose 17 per cent to 5.5 MT in the first 10 months of this year, and they are expected to reach 6.6 MT at the end of the year.

Of the nation's total production, 15 per cent to 16 per cent comes from Chinese exports, while 20 per cent to 22 per cent comes from production outside China.
