SHANGHAI: China is to keep export taxes for metals products at current levels in 2018, the finance ministry said Wednesday. There will still be no export tax on non-alloy aluminum with metal content of over 99.95%, while the export tax on non-alloy aluminum with metal content below 99.95% will remain at 15%.
Likewise, the 15% export tax on unwrought aluminum alloy and aluminum scrap will continue. For high purity copper cathode — copper content not less than 99.9999% — the export tax rat will remain at zero, while other refined copper cathode will have an export tax of 10%.
