No 1996-06, Chinese Economies Research Centre (CERC) Working Papers from University of Adelaide, Chinese Economies Research Centre

Abstract: Since 1993, amounts of iron and steel imported into China have steadily declined. Coincidentally, ChinaÂ’s State Council released an administrative circular aimed at controlling steel imports.This paper describes trade barriers applicable to iron and steel imports. These barriers fall under three categories: (1) Tariffs. (2) Licensing and registration. (3) Trading rights and "canalisation". The paper develops a number of hypotheses for further investigation about the impact of barriers on steel imports.
