Report Introduction

Starting from May 1, 2026, China will implement comprehensive zero-tariff treatment for all 53 African countries with diplomatic ties, a landmark move in the history of China-Africa economic and trade cooperation. On the basis of the full zero-tariff treatment for 33 African least developed countries effective since December 1, 2024, this policy further includes 20 non-least developed African countries in the preferential scope, continuously deepening China-Africa win-win economic and trade cooperation.

China’s zero-tariff policy for Africa mainly lifts tariffs on African agricultural products, mineral products, handicrafts and other goods exported to China, directly helping African countries increase export income and accumulate foreign exchange reserves, thereby greatly improving their investment capacity in infrastructure construction and industrial development.
