China Cancels Export Rebate for Primary Polysiloxanes; Hongye

Keywords: silicone export rebate, policy adjustment, Hongye Silicone, high‑value silicone, export transformation Summary: China removes 13% export rebate on primary polysiloxanes from April 2026; Hongye Silicone accelerates shift to formulated, certified silicone products. Content: Effective April 2026, China canceled the 13% export rebate for primary polysiloxanes (e.g., 107 rubber), raising export costs by ~1,600 RMB/ton and ending the low‑cost raw material export model. The policy forces the industry to shift from “selling raw materials” to “selling formulations, performance, and solutions.” Hongye Silicone has proactively adjusted its export structure, prioritizing REACH/FDA/ANVISA‑certified finished products such as food‑grade silicone, medical LSR, and thermal conductive compounds. High‑value products now account for over 35% of its export volume, strengthening margins and global competitiveness.
