2025年12月12日，商务部、海关总署联合发布第79号公告，决定自2026年1月1日起对部分钢铁产品实施出口许可证管理。

This marks the re-implementation of the steel export license system in China 16 years after it was abolished in 2009, signifying a new stage in China's steel export management.

中国钢铁工业协会表示，当前将钢材纳入出口许可证管理制度，是引导钢材规范出口、推动钢铁行业高质量发展的重要举措，有利于维护全球钢材供需格局和贸易平衡。

The China Iron and Steel Association (CISA) stated that continuously improving the management of steel product exports is a key step in ensuring that steel products prioritize meeting domestic demand during my country's process of accelerating the construction of a new development pattern. It is also a necessary measure for my country to guide industrial upgrading domestically and participate in international supply chain cooperation in the context of globalization. This will help coordinate trade flows, integrate trade channels, promote a positive interaction between international and domestic markets, and ultimately achieve the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry.

根据79号公告，实行出口许可证管理的钢铁产品涉及300个海关商品编码，覆盖从原材料到成品的全产业链。

In September 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Commerce, and the State Administration for Market Regulation, jointly issued the "Work Plan for Stabilizing Growth in the Steel Industry (2025-2026)," which clearly proposed to strengthen the management of steel product exports, maintain export competition order, and optimize the structure of steel export products. Announcement No. 79 is a concrete measure to implement this requirement.
