At present, China's coatings import and export volume is increasing bidirectionally, indicating that the demand for coatings in our country is constantly increasing, and the consumption level of coatings in our country is gradually increasing. With the implementation of the environmental tax in 2018, the significance for environmental protection will be even greater Greater than the meaning of taxation, paint industry as a heavily polluting industries, will be further washing industry, dirty little messy enterprises or will gradually withdraw from the stage of history, our coatings industry is moving in a healthy and orderly direction.
According to the Customs data: From January to July 2017, the total import and export volume of major paint products in China's coatings industry reached 888 million U.S. dollars, up 3.89% over the same period of last year.
Among them, the total import volume of 100,000 tons, an increase of 8.92%, the total amount of 527 million US dollars of imports, an increase of 3.30%; total exports of 110,400 tons, an increase of 13.43%; total exports amounted to 36,097.73 million US dollars, Increase 4.77%.
The two-way increase of the quantity of paint import and export in our country indicates that the domestic market demands for coating quality are improving continuously and the consumption level keeps rising. On the other hand, it also shows that the coating products manufactured in China have been approved by consumers in foreign markets.
Throughout our coatings market, although the rapid growth of the early growth rate, but the industry is also overgrown, the industry uneven technical level, high and low end of a large difference in product quality, the level of strength between enterprises is also uneven, the production of Products are mainly low-end products, high-end products and special performance products scarcity, so some of our high-end products and special performance products have to rely on imports.
In recent years, with the increase of investment in R & D of coating enterprises in our country, high-end and special-performance products produced in China have also gradually increased, and the products available for export to overseas countries have also gradually increased. Judging from the current rapid-growth coatings export data in China, It is already a big exporter of coatings in the world. The coating products produced in China have been approved by foreign consumers.
In the near future, the much-watched green tax will be put into effect on January 1, 2018. According to the requirements, each province should determine the specific applicable taxes for taxable air pollutants and water pollutants in the region by the end of 2017 and publish it as required Pollutant emissions accounting methods, and to the public.
Currently including Beijing, Hebei, Xinjiang, Guangxi, Sichuan, Liaoning, Jilin, Anhui, Fujian and other places have announced the local environmental tax applicable tax standards.
With the implementation of environmental tax, I believe its significance for environmental protection will be greater than the significance of taxation, paint industry as a heavily polluting industries, will be further washed by the industry, polluting enterprises or will gradually withdraw from the stage of history, our coatings industry is Toward a healthy and orderly direction.
