Ministry of Commerce and General Administration of Customs Announcement 2025 No. 79 introduces export licenses for select steel products, including light steel metal profiles for ceilings/walls and T-grids.

Beijing, December 23, 2025‌ – In accordance with Announcement 2025 No. 79 jointly issued by China’s Ministry of Commerce and General Administration of Customs, select steel products, including light steel metal profiles for ceilings and walls and ceiling T grids, will now require an export license starting January 1, 2026. This policy aims to enhance global trade fairness and security by curbing illegal practices such as "买单出口" (false declaration for tax evasion).

Policy Overview: Why Now?

The new regulation targets steel products with high export volumes and risks of illegal trade, such as "买单出口" (false invoicing to evade taxes). By requiring licenses, China seeks to:

  • Deter non-compliant exporters: Unauthorized shipments will face customs rejections, reducing market disruptions caused by rogue suppliers.

  • Promote fair competition: Legal suppliers gain a competitive edge, while buyers avoid risks of penalties or delays.

  • Align with global standards: The policy mirrors international efforts to regulate steel trade, reinforcing China’s role as a responsible trading partner.

Impact on Light Steel Profiles & T-Grids

Products like Pano Ceilings’ light steel profiles and T-grids are now subject to stricter controls. Key implications include:

  1. Export Delays: Without a license, shipments will be held at customs, potentially causing project delays for construction and renovation sectors.

  2. Price Adjustments: Licensed suppliers may pass added compliance costs to buyers, leading to higher quotes in 2026. Importers should anticipate gradual price increases.

     3. Supply Chain Risks: Non-compliant suppliers may exit the market, reducing options for cost-focused buyers.

Key Implications for Importers

  1. Compliance Mandatory‌: All Chinese exporters of these products must obtain a license before shipment. Non-compliance will result in export halts, potentially causing delays in supply chains.
  2. Price Adjustments Expected‌: Due to added administrative costs and stricter enforcement, some suppliers may revise pricing in 2026. Importers should proactively assess quotes to mitigate budget impacts.
  3. Risk Mitigation‌: The policy targets illegal traders, reinforcing the importance of partnering with verified suppliers. Non-compliant entities face legal penalties, safeguarding buyers from financial losses.
