In 2022, China’s total amount of stone import and export exceeded $10 billion, marking a strong growth in the face of global economic pressure. The nation has intensified policy support on export tax rebates, credit insurance and credit loans. The overall tariff level fell from 9.8% to 7.4% during the five years. A combination of measures helps bolster China’s import and export trade.
