China Waiving Import Duties on Certain Aviation Equipment

China is waiving import duties for importers of certain civil aviation maintenance equipment through 2030, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council reported April 23. The measure, announced last month, will exempt import duties from aviation manufacturers, companies and airlines when they import aviation maintenance equipment that “domestic producers cannot produce or meet performance requirements on,” HKTDC said. China’s customs authorities will also “no longer carry out follow-up supervision of goods” on those exempted imports.
