Beijing, December 17, 2025 — China's Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs have jointly announced new steel pipe export policies, effective from January 1, 2026. The policies aim to optimize the export product structure, promote green and low-carbon transformation in the industry, and strengthen the whole-chain quality supervision system.
Key Highlights: Incentives for High-Value-Added Products, Restrictions on High-Energy-Consumption Categories
Under the new regulations, export enterprises producing high-performance steel pipes for advanced manufacturing and new energy sectors (such as seamless oil and gas drilling pipes and ultra-supercritical power plant tubes) will benefit from streamlined customs clearance procedures and tax incentives. Meanwhile, export quotas for ordinary welded steel pipes that exceed energy consumption standards will be gradually tightened to guide industrial technological upgrades.
Enhanced Quality Oversight: Comprehensive Digital Traceability System
Starting January 2026, all exported steel pipes must carry electronic labels with internationally standardized codes to enable full-process traceability from production to export. Chinese customs will leverage a blockchain platform to share quality data with major trading partners, enhancing cross-border regulatory cooperation efficiency.
Industry Impact: Expected Rise in Average Export Prices, Accelerated Investment in Low-Carbon Technologies
Analysts note that the new policies are expected to increase the average export price of Chinese steel pipes by 5%-8% year-on-year, while stimulating corporate investment in hydrogen-based steelmaking and carbon capture technologies. In the long term, the policies will help consolidate China's position in the global supply chain for high-end steel pipes.
International Response: Positive Feedback from EU and ASEAN Partners
The EU trade delegation welcomed China's move to strengthen environmental standards, noting alignment with global carbon reduction goals. Contractors for ASEAN infrastructure projects indicated that while the regulations may raise procurement costs in the short term, they will enhance material reliability for projects in the long run.
