Market fears havoc from China's overhaul of customs rules

摘要

A soon-to-be-implemented overhaul of the customs system regulating exports and imports of mineral commodities in China is creating widespread concerns about large-scale disruptions to supply chains to and from the country. China customs is imposing a new system of documentation effective from August 1, 2018. This system will require Chinese exporters to provide much more detailed information on the nature, value and route of their shipments.
