On the three-year anniversary of RCEP's full implementation, the Customs Guangdong branch reported that since June 2, 2023 Guangdong ports recorded 53.8 bln yuan of imports eligible for RCEP preferences, generating 1.4 bln yuan in tariff reductions. Tariff relief rose sharply for three consecutive years, up 8.81% in 2023, 32.35% in 2024 and 32.12% in 2025. Customs said it has streamlined RCEP clearance, guided firms on applying RCEP origin rules to choose optimal preferential treatment, promoted approved-exporter status and stacked benefits with Customs' high-level certified enterprises, sustaining the release of tariff-relief gains.
