The well-known information agency in the non-ferrous metal industry, "Yimao Information," revealed on the 7th that the government's reduction in export tax rebates for aluminum tubes, originally predicted by the market, may be replaced by the standardization of aluminum tubes. Limiting the specifications of aluminum tubes can effectively curb the export of low value-added aluminum tubes.

In recent years, China's export policies for "two high and one capital" products have begun to tighten, and the tax refund rate for resource-based and low value-added aluminum exports has also been lowered multiple times. From import and export data, it can be seen that aluminum tubes have become the main way of disguised export of electrolytic aluminum (aluminum ingots). Researchers from Yimao Information believe that regardless of the restrictions adopted, the disguised export of aluminum ingots in the form of aluminum tubes will inevitably exit the historical stage. Before finding new export methods, there will be a supply of nearly 50000 tons/month of aluminum ingots that will be difficult to enter the international market.
