"We don't know that there is a free trade agreement between China and Mauritius. Thank you Linyi Customs for actively promoting relevant preferential policies for us. The tariff reduction and exemption brought by the preferential certificate of origin in the free trade agreement have made our products more competitive in the local area. "On June 7, the visa officer of a trading company in Linyi said. On the same day, after the China-Mauritius Free Trade Agreement signed by Linyi Customs under Qingdao Customs for the company came into effect, enterprises can enjoy customs clearance in Mauritius with certificates.
The "Free Trade Agreement between the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the Republic of Mauritius" came into effect on January 1, 2021. This agreement is the first free trade agreement signed between China and an African country and has promoted the formation of closer interests between China and African countries. The community and the community of destiny have promoted the "Belt and Road" initiative to connect to the process of African economic integration, which is a milestone.

In response to this situation, Linyi Customs took the initiative to plan and make arrangements in advance to find out which areas have business dealings with Mauritius. Enterprises, after the implementation of the agreement, the first time one-to-one policy announcements and visa assistance for them. Export enterprises should actively apply for free trade agreement preferential origin certificates for eligible export goods, and increase the price advantage of products. At the same time, import Enterprises should also remind trading partners to issue preferential certificates of origin to enjoy the policy dividends brought by the free trade agreement in a timely manner." said the person in charge of the Linyi Customs Comprehensive Business Section. He introduced that after the implementation of the agreement, China and Mauritius will eventually achieve 96.3% and 94.2% of the product tax items with zero tariffs. Textiles, luggage, lamps, garden supplies and other export goods of our city can enjoy the preferential tariffs of Mauritania.
