It extends the tax incentives for 2024 to 2025, maintaining the same benefits as in 2023. These incentives exempt eligible imported goods from import tariffs, value-added tax, and consumption tax during the fair. This initiative aims to bolster trade, ensure compliance with regulations, and foster international business relationships by supporting a favorable trading environment at the Canton Fair.
