Cancellation of Silicone Export Tax Rebate Shows Tangible Imp

The policy of canceling the export tax rebate for primary-form polysiloxanes, which officially took effect on April 1, 2026, began to show significant practical impacts on export-oriented silicone enterprises on April 9.
Policy details:
The 13% value-added tax export rebate applicable to primary silicone polymers and basic silicone products (HS code 39100000) has been officially removed.
Cost impact:
Taking 107 silicone rubber with an ex-factory price of 14,200 yuan/ton as an example, the cancellation of the export tax rebate directly increases the export cost by approximately
1,600 yuan/ton, severely compressing corporate profit margins.
Industry response:
-
Some export-oriented enterprises have suspended the acceptance of new orders for low-value-added basic silicone products.
-
Leading manufacturers are accelerating the adjustment of their product structure, shifting the focus of exports to high-performance, special-grade, and customized silicone products to offset policy pressure.
-
Industry insiders predict that this policy will accelerate the elimination of low-end export capacity and promote the high-quality transformation and upgrading of the entire silicone export industry.
