Recently, a number of foreign trade policies related to the building materials industry both at home and abroad have undergone new adjustments. To help you accurately grasp the market pulse, SELEGFU HODINGS CO.,LTD. has specially sorted out the recent core favorable policies, covering multiple dimensions such as tariff preferences, market access and export support, to help you seize the initiative in international competition.

First, deepen the benefits of the free trade agreement and further optimize tariffs in the Australian market

Entering 2026, trade cooperation between China and Australia has ushered in new opportunities. According to the newly released "2026 Tariff Adjustment Plan", the implementation of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) has been further strengthened.

The core benefit lies in the fact that the vast majority of building materials products such as furniture, lighting fixtures and hardware tools originally produced in China can enjoy zero-tariff treatment as long as they provide compliant certificates of origin (COO). This policy has significantly reduced the cost of exporting related building materials products to Australia, creating an extremely attractive price advantage for expanding the Oceania market.

Second, favorable policies for the Central Asian market and increased incentives for local production

As a hot spot for infrastructure construction in Central Asia, Uzbekistan launched a series of highly attractive foreign trade preferential policies in 2026, providing a broad space for Chinese building materials enterprises.

Starting from March 1st, goods declared in advance can enjoy a 20% reduction in customs handling fees, and the payment of customs duties can be postponed for up to 120 days. More importantly, the local government, in order to encourage foreign investment, offers up to five years of tax exemption for local production projects of building materials that meet environmental protection standards. Enterprises that set up factories in the special economic zone can enjoy income tax reduction for up to ten years. These policies have significantly reduced the financial pressure and operating costs of enterprises, providing a rare window of opportunity for in-depth layout in the Central Asian market.

Third, domestic port services have been upgraded, and the system for safeguarding enterprises' overseas expansion has been improved

To support enterprises in better "going global", many local governments in China have introduced detailed safeguard measures. Take the "18 Measures to Stabilize Foreign Trade" recently released by Guangzhou as an example. The policy explicitly states that financial services and risk prevention and control should be strengthened.

Among them, for the first time, it is proposed that for specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative "little giant" enterprises to take out export credit insurance, the municipal finance will provide a subsidy of no more than 40% of the actual premium paid. This measure has built a solid risk barrier, helping enterprises deal with uncertainties in international trade more calmly and enhancing their confidence in expanding overseas markets.

SELEGFU HODINGS CO.,LTD. will continue to pay close attention to global market dynamics, deeply interpret policy trends for you, and join hands with partners to venture into the new blue ocean of global building materials.
