On February 4th, Q: On February 4th, the Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued an announcement on export control of tungsten and other items. What are the considerations for China's introduction of export control policies this time? A: On February 4th, the Ministry of Commerce of China, together with the General Administration of Customs, issued an announcement on the implementation of export control on tungsten and other related items, and imposed export control on 25 kinds of rare metal products and their technologies such as ammonium paratungstate. The above policy came into effect on the date of issuance. Previously, we have notified relevant countries and regions. It is an international practice to implement export control on tungsten and other related items. The addition of related items this time reflects the control concept of overall development and security, which is conducive to better safeguarding national security and interests, better fulfilling international obligations such as non-proliferation, and ensuring the security and stability of the global industrial chain supply chain. Exports that meet relevant regulations will be licensed.
