Announcement：

In 2013, in order to implement the gold import tax policy, the General Administration of Customs issued Announcement No. 16 in 2013, which clearly adjusted the gold ore standard in Announcement No.29 of the General Administration of Customs in 2003 to the gold concentrate standard revised by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology revised the gold concentrate standard again, and the announcement No.29 of the General Administration of Customs in 2003 about gold ore should implement the current gold concentrate standard accordingly.

This announcement shall come into force as of the date of promulgation, and the announcement No.16 of the General Administration of Customs in 2013 shall be abolished at the same time.

Newly Revised Gold Concentrate Standard

This standard specifies the technical requirements, inspection methods, inspection rules, packaging, transportation, storage, quality forecast orders and purchase orders (or contracts) of gold concentrates.
