Key Sentence: The abolishment of 13% tax rebate for primary silicone materials pushes manufacturers to transform from raw material exporters to customized silicone solution suppliers.
Starting from April 2026, China canceled the 13% VAT export rebate for all primary silicone raw materials under HS code 39100000, including silicone gum, crude silicone oil and unvulcanized silicone compounds. The policy directly raises export costs of bulk raw materials, forcing manufacturers to adjust product layout. Factories increase R&D investment in customized finished silicone products such as electronic thermal conductive silicone pads, medical LSR parts and automotive silicone shock absorbers. Customs data shows raw silicone export volume only rises 2.3% year-on-year, while high-value silicone finished product export value surges 11.7%, marking the industry’s structural upgrading to high added-value products.
