China announced the introduction of zero import duties for 98% of goods from Angola, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, Mali and Mauritania from December 25. This step is aimed at developing cooperation between China and African countries. Earlier, on December 1, 2022, China abolished duties on goods imported from Afghanistan, Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Lesotho, Malawi, Sao Tome and Principe, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Since March 1, 2023, similar actions have been taken with respect to goods from Ethiopia, Burundi and Niger.
