AmCham Shanghai will hold an English language workshop on the Chinese tariff exclusion process on June 25, 9:00-11:00 AM at the AmCham Shanghai Conference Center by MHP Law Firm. Our speaker Ms. Wang, Senior Partner from MHP Law Firm will provide members with guidance and insight on how to submit a successful application. In May 2019, China's Ministry of Finance released new tariff exemption measures​ for companies in China impacted by the tariff. According to the official document, all interested parties (enterprises in China engaged in the import, production or use of related commodities or their representative industry associations) can apply for relief from the tariffs. Applicants need to explain the difficulty of finding substitute goods, the financial damage, and the significance of the impact on the industry – such as economic stagnation, job cuts and technological regression – or other negative social consequences.

The Tariff Commission of the State Council will review and investigate the applications, and consult industry opinions, before publishing the exclusion list, whose date of release is not given yet. Goods successfully included in the exclusion will be exempted from the tariffs for a year, and qualified companies will receive tax refunds for tariffs already paid.

A Chinese language workshop on the same topic will be held on June 20.

今年5月，中国国务院关税税则委员会宣布，试行开展对美加征关税商品排除工作，将部分符合条件的商品排除出对美加征关税范围，采取暂不加征关税、具备退还税款条件的退还已加征关税税款等排除措施。

为向会员企业提供有效的指导和帮助，上海美国商会邀请您于6月25日9-11点参加对美加征关税商品排除申请培训讲座。届时，来自君悦律师事务所的王娅瑾律师将为会员企业代表分享对美加征关税商品排除规定解读和操作建议。
