National coke export policy tightened

On November 6, the reporter learned from the Shanxi Coke Association that next year coke export policy continues to tighten, and the country has further raised the coke export threshold. More and more coke enterprises will be forced to exit the export market.

According to reports, the "Coke Export Quota Filing Conditions and Application Procedures for Coke" promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce a few days ago set new rules for the qualifications of coke export quota companies. The Ministry of Commerce stipulates that coke production enterprises applying for export quotas must meet the "Coke Industry Admission Requirements" (according to the list of enterprises announced by the National Development and Reform Commission), and the export of coke in 2006 is 250,000 tons (inclusive), or In the past three years (2004-2006), the average annual export volume of coke is 200,000 tons (inclusive), and the product quality has reached the current national standard, and has achieved ISO9000 quality system certification. When a circulation company applies for a coke export quota, it must meet a registered capital of 50 million yuan (inclusive) or more. The average annual coke export volume in the past three years (2004-2006) is 200,000 tons (inclusive), or has a domestic trade scope. , And from 2004 to 2006, the average annual export supply was 400,000 tons (inclusive). The new export qualification also stipulates that, if an enterprise is registered after January 1, 2007, the coke export performance of its affiliated or associated company will not be determined.

According to this document standard, there are only 41 coke enterprises that have obtained quotas among domestic coke export enterprises.

The person in charge of the Shanxi Provincial Coke Association believes that the introduction of 5% export tariffs in 2006 will further increase the tariff by 10 percentage points to 15% on May 21 this year, and then increase the export qualifications. This shows that under the pressure of resources and the environment, China has gradually changed its policy of encouraging the export of coke. From the point of view of enterprises that have obtained quotas for the next year, the two batches of coke export quotas are concentrated in the hands of 41 companies. The number of export companies has also been reduced by one batch, and the concentration of coke exports has further increased.

The reporter learned that the coking enterprises that just got this document expressed different opinions on this regulatory policy. The analysis of the person in charge of the International Department of the Shanxi Coke Group is specific to different companies. Due to the fact that they are not the same, their impact is also different. For example, companies such as Shanxi Coking Co., Ltd. and Taihua Co., Ltd., which are mainly based on the domestic market, have little or no impact on this regulatory policy. However, for export-oriented enterprises, if the qualifications do not meet the standards, they must choose to withdraw from the coke export market.
