According to Xinhua News Agency, the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) will come into effect on January 1, 2022 for 10 countries including China, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia, marking the world's largest population and largest economic and trade scale.

China's tariff commitment to ASEAN member countries will directly reduce the tariffs on plastics and their products for a total of 150 tax items to 0, accounting for as high as 93%! In addition, there are 10 tax items for plastics and their products, which will be reduced from the original 6.

RCEP’s tax reduction modes mainly include four types: zero reduction immediately after the agreement takes effect, zero reduction during the transition period, partial tax reduction, and exempted products

The detailed tax reductions on plastics and their products in China's tariff commitments to ASEAN member states are as follows:
