1 Foreword The fillip provided by the Uruguay Round Agreements and the establishment of the WTO in 1994, ushered in a new hope for fair trade under the multilateral trading system. Whereas the process of globalization was expected to integrate weaker economies into the world trading canvas, the process has been long drawn and cumbersome for most participating nations.
The promised liberalization through the multilateral system notwithstanding, countries are aggressively seeking bilateral and regional alignments for increasing trade. These agreements when implemented not only influence trading patterns and practices these result in realigning investment trends. The phenomenon thus has a multipronged impact. Regional and bilateral exchange of preferences, therefore, has an important role as it supplements the efforts through the multilateral trading system for global integration.
These arrangements and agreements have a common objective – trade liberalization, both through tariff reductions and elimination of non‐tariff barriers (NTBs).
Pakistan is no exception to the growing trend of mutually beneficial trade arrangements. She is a signatory to SAFTA under the SAARC umbrella alongwith being a member of the OIC and its trade agreement. Bilaterally, perhaps, the only significant Agreement concluded so far is with China.
The Chinese economic growth and the current import trend provide promising avenues for trade for countries with potential to create niches in the Chinese market. The possibilities of bilateral trade with China have specially increased manifold following her accession to the WTO. The acceptance of trade disciplines dictated by the WTO Agreements and a transition to ‘market economy’ make China one of the major players in the comity of WTO fellowship.
The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of China’s global trade and, in the backdrop of the FTA, to attempt a thumb‐nail sketch of Pakistan’s economic and trade integration with China.

2 Introduction to ChinaPakistan FTA To strengthen economic and trade relations, Pakistan and China initiated measures to conclude a Free Trade Agreement. As a first step, the two countries signed an Early Harvest Program (EHP) on 5th April, 2005 which became operational on 1st January, 2006. Within a year, Pakistan and China signed the Free Trade Agreement and finalized the modalities for Phase I which will cover the first five years under the preferential agreement.
For Phase‐II, both parties will endeavor to eliminate tariffs on no less than 90% of products, both in terms of tariff lines and trade volume within a ‘reasonable’ period of time.
Phase I of the Agreement stipulates elimination and/or reduction of tariff rates within the following parameters:
1 "Category I": Import customs duties shall be removed in four stages from the entry into force of the
Agreement, specified goods shall become duty‐free effective January 1st of the third year through yearly reductions by Margins of Preference (MOP) as follows:
Table 1: Category I
Entry into force 01.01.08 01.01.09 01.01.10
25% 50% 75% 100%
The calculation would be as follows:
If the current MFN custom tariff is 10% and remains the same, the duty on partner’s exports will reduce in following manner.
Table 2: Calculation
Entry into force 01.01.08 01.01.09 01.01.10
Calculation1 10% x (1‐ 25%) 10% x (1‐ 50%) 10% x (1‐ 75%) 10% x (1‐ 100%)
Result 7.5% 5% 2.5% 0%
2) "Category II": Import customs duties shall be reduced to or below 5% in five years after entry into
force of this Agreement. The MOP will be applied as follows:
X refers to applied MFN tariff rates of the current year.

Result 9.17% 8.33% 7.5% 6.67% 5.83% 5%
3) “Category III”: Import customs duties shall be reduced by the margin of preference of 50% within
five years of entry into force of this Agreement. Each year’s MOP is as follows:
Table 5: Category III
Entry into force 01.01.08 01.01.09 01.01.10 01.01.11 01.01.12

4 "Category IV": Import customs duties shall be reduced by the margin of preference of 20% within
five years of entry into force of this Agreement. Each year’s MOP is as follows:
Table 6: Category IV
Entry into force 01.01.08 01.01.09 01.01.10 01.01.11 01.01.12
3% 6% 10% 13% 16% 20%
5 "Category V": No concession
6 "Category VI": Pakistan has excluded 92 tariff lines from the FTA.
Elimination of tariffs on the products covered in the Early Harvest Program will continue in accordance with the earlier agreed modality of tariff lines for EHP. Rates will be calculated every year on the basis of MFN rates for that year.

3 Overview of Chinese International Trade
3.1 Exports Chinese accession to the WTO was preceded by more than ten years of intense negotiations at the multilateral and bilateral levels. Consequently China adopted WTO disciplines enshrined in the Agreements and initiated measures for transition to a market economy.
Resultantly, China’s economic development has been spectacular with GDP growing at an average annual rate of 8‐10% during the period 2000‐2007. Chinese exports have increased from US$ 438 billion to US$ 1,217 billion at an average growth rate of 29.1% against the world export growth of 12.6%. China has almost tripled its exports during the last four years and its exports share has increased from 6.32% to 10.91% in total world exports4.

5 The Free Trade Agreement6 Whereas the current coverage of FTA extends to all sectors of productions (services to be added subsequently), the focus of this report will be on textiles and clothing trade. The report seeks to describe the depth of FTA commitments and the possible opportunities for increasing bilateral trade.
5.1 Textiles & Clothing Tariff lines (HS Chap 5063) Pakistan has classified Textiles and Clothing of HS Chapter 50‐63 into 921 8‐digit HS tariff lines while China has subdivided the same into 1,106 8‐digit HS tariff lines to reflect their tariff policy provisions and international trade developments relating to specific products.7
5.2 Classification of Textiles & Clothing Products: Under the EHP, Pakistan offered preferential reduction on 32 6‐digit tariff lines8. The list includes fibers of wool and silk and few varieties of fabrics made of cotton and MMF. The following table provides segregation on the basis of margin of preference.

Pakistan has offered 64% of tariff lines under category IV, however, import share for 2006‐07 under these tariff lines was only 18% in 2006‐07, whereas, Pakistan has offered only 14.12% of tariff lines under category II, which had an import share of more than 56.08% of Pakistan’s total textile imports of 2006‐07. China, which had only 12% share in “category II imports” of Pakistan for the year 2006‐07, may now have an opportunity to increase the volume.
Under Early Harvest Program, China offered preferential reduction on 742 tariff lines out of 1106. Almost 131 tariff lines were duplicated both for zero rating and margin of preference. However lower rates will be taken into account in case tariff rates are different.
Keeping in view the end‐users of this report, i.e. Pakistani exporters and basing the analysis on FBS data, the RDA Cell has identified corresponding codes in Pakistan custom tariff for the Chinese tariff descriptions. This has helped the analyses of export opportunities for Pakistani defined 921 8‐digit HS product lines vis‐à‐vis Chinese preferential offers.

Almost 50% of the total textiles and clothing tariff lines as well as total textiles and clothing exports of Pakistan have been placed under category I of the FTA by China, i.e. elimination of tariff in three years. However, most of our exports to China have come under Category II.
For further elaboration for textiles and clothing sector, RDA Cell has developed following matrixes which may facilitate better understanding of the Pakistani and Chinese offers.
5.2.1 Classification I
Following classification is based on conventional categorization which Government of Pakistan utilizes for grouping textiles and clothing trade into 13 different groups.
Analysis, on the basis of this classification, indicates that other than 3 groups (i.e. cotton, cotton yarn and few of other textile materials), Pakistan has only offered cuts of 20% or less for most of its other product lines (i.e. 82% of the total 8‐digit tariff lines).

5.5.1.4 FTA and Pakistan’s Imports
Pakistan, as already stated, has subdivided this group of products into 51 8‐digit HS Tariff lines. It has placed 41 out of these for reduction upto 5% within phase I of the FTA. Pakistan had imports of US$ 954 million in the year 2006‐07, majority of which constituted import of raw cotton.
China exported US$ 40 million worth of primary raw materials, most of which was MMF. Pakistan has provided protection to most of the MMF tariff lines by placing these under category 5.
5.5.1.5 Analysis
Chinese imports of raw cotton have increased manifold and India has increased its share tremendously in this category without having any preferential treatment. Pakistan with low yield in recent years had little chance to increase its exports for this category.
22
Research, Development and Advisory Cell Ministry of Textile Industry
China has a broad MMF manufacturing base and has placed MMF in category 1 for zero rating. On the other hand, Pakistan’s MMF total exports, as well as to China, have declined during the last four years.

5.5.2 Waste
This category includes fiber associated wastes i.e. silk waste, noils of wool, cotton yarn waste, tow and yarn waste, and waste of synthetic and artificial fibers. China has 14 tariff lines under this section while Pakistan has 12 8‐digit tariff lines.
5.5.2.1 Chinese Imports
China imported US$ 157 million worth of waste in 2007, most of which constituted MMF yarn waste. USA, Belgium and France are major exporters of textiles waste to China since 2003.

5.5.2.4 FTA and Pakistan’s Imports
Pakistan had a meager import of US$ 1.2 million under this group in the year 2006‐07. Half of it constituted silk waste which was sourced from China.
Out of 12 8‐digit tariff lines, Pakistan have placed all except MMF based waste under category 1. China has not been provided any concession on MMF waste.
5.5.2.5 Analysis
This category includes only waste materials which are low valued and have a small market.
25
Research, Development and Advisory Cell Ministry of Textile Industry
5.5.3 Yarn
This category includes yarn made up of silk, cotton, wool, vegetable fibers, MMF and filament yarn. Pakistan categorizes its yarns trade in 131 8‐digit HS tariff lines while China has defined 163 tariff lines.
5.5.3.1 Chinese Imports
Chinese import for this category has increased from US$ 3.7 billion to US$ 4.1 billion. MMF and filament yarn constituted most of the imports of this category in 2003, however its share as well as volume has declined in recent years. Now Cotton yarn has the biggest share i.e. almost 49% in Chinese yarn imports. Pakistan, Korea, and India have remained major exporters of yarn to China during the last five years.

5.5.3.4 FTA and Pakistani Imports
Pakistan has a strong cotton spinning industry and thus has small import for this product line. Total import of cotton yarn in Pakistan was US$ 5 million in the year 2006‐07. However, MMF yarn import has
27
Research, Development and Advisory Cell Ministry of Textile Industry
increased from US$ 20 million to US$ 63 million during the last five years. Pakistan has placed yarn in category 2, 4 and 5.
Import of MMF yarn in category 2 from China has increased from US$ 1.65 million to US$ 13 million. Major change is observed in category 5, in which no concession is offered. Total import of MMF yarn which is offered in category 5 to China has increased from US$ 69 million to US$ 190 million, while total yarn imports from China have increased in last five years from US$ 7 million to US$ 89 million. To protect the local industry 50 MMF tariff lines are placed under category 5.
5.5.3.5 Analysis
The tariff rates in both countries are already low for yarns and provide very little margin of preference. Cotton yarn imports are increasing in China and our exports have also diverted to that market. China being the destination for 22% of our yarn exports has become an important market although the FTA does not provide any substantial preference.

5.5.4 Thread
This category includes threads made of cotton, MM Fiber, filaments and rubber thread. China has 11 8‐digit tariff lines for thread whereas Pakistan has 12.
5.5.4.1 Chinese Imports
Chinese imports for this category stood at US$ 163.6 million in 2007. MMF constituted 80% of the imported volume. Japan and Korea were the major sources of thread during the last five years.

5.5.4.4 FTA and Pakistan’s Imports
Pakistan imported US$ 11.95 million worth of thread in the year 2006‐07 most of which constituted threads made from MMF. Almost 50% of these imports in 2006‐07 were sourced from China. Pakistan has not applied any fixed strategy on this category and has distributed these lines across the various FTA categories. Even for MMF, 2 out of 5 tariff lines have been marked for tariff reduction to 5% while for others no concession has been provided to China.
5.5.4.5 Analysis
Thread has a small market in China and MMF constitutes 80% of its imports. Pakistan has a weak MMF industry, however being zero rated, Pakistani exporters are approximately at par with Chinese local industry which can work for enhancing our MMF based exports and thus developing economies of scale and reducing the overall production costs.

5.5.5 Fabric
This category comprises fabrics which fall under HS Chapter 50‐56 and 60. This includes woven, non‐woven as well as knitted and crocheted fabrics. China categorizes its fabric trade under 310 8‐digit tariff lines while Pakistan has defined 259.
5.5.5.1 Chinese Imports
Fabrics share a major portion in Chinese import mix. China imported fabrics worth US$ 9.02 billion in the year 2007. MMF constituted more than 50% of these imports during recent years. Japan, Korea, Italy and USA are the top import sources for China in this category.

5.5.5.4 FTA and Pakistan’s Imports
Pakistan has a strong cotton fabric production and export base. Imports mostly of MF fabrics have risen to US$ 157 million from approximately US$ 50 million during the last five years.
China was the main source for these imports with a share of 61% in 2006‐07. Its share was approximately 22% in 2002‐03.
Pakistan has provided 20% tariff reduction to China on fabrics excluding most of the MMF based tariff lines.
5.5.5.5 Analysis
China has opened its market for Pakistan by zero rating in all fabric tariff lines (except silk and wool), however, the exports from Pakistan do not appear to have benefited from this opportunity.

5.5.6 Special Fabrics
This category includes fabrics which fall under HS Chapters 58 and 59. These are Special woven fabrics; tufted textile fabrics; lace, tapestries; trimmings and Impregnated, coated, covered or laminated textile fabrics and nonwovens. China reports its trade for special fabrics in 93 8‐digit HS tariff lines whereas Pakistan has 56 8‐digit tariff lines.
5.5.6.1 Chinese Imports
China imported these fabrics worth US$ 2.1 billion in the year 2007. The imports had a modest growth of almost 5.4% per annum in the span of the last four years. Major sources include Korea, Japan, USA and Germany.

5.5.6.4 FTA and Pakistan’s Imports
Pakistan’s imported US$ 75 million worth of special fabrics in the year 2006‐07. The import growth during the last four years has been 22% per annum. Chinese share in our imports was 20% in the year 2002‐03 which rose to 43% in 2006‐07.
Pakistan will provide 20% MOP on most tariff lines under the FTA. Three (tyre cord 59021000, 5902200, 59029000) out of the nine MMF based tariff lines have been placed for zero rating.
5.5.6.5 Analysis
Special fabrics play a major role in increasing value addition of final products. Pakistan has not been able to develop its industry and most of the special fabrics are being imported resulting in hurdles for small and medium units of garment and made‐up industry.
China has committed to provide zero rating on 26 tariff lines of special fabrics, however under these circumstances, there is low probability that Pakistani industry will be able to benefit from the advantage earned after hard negotiations.

6 Future Tariff Rates Tariff reductions under the FTA for Pakistan’s exports to China have also been calculated14. Actual rates may differ depending upon the applied MFN rates for a particular year on which the MOP will be calculated.
7 Potential Opportunities Under this section, the report attempts to highlight the main factors creating the potential opportunities through the tariff treatment for textiles and clothing categories under the FTA.
7.1 Trousers for Men/Boys (62034200) This product line was Pakistan’s second highest exported item for textiles and clothing in 2006‐07. Pakistan’s per annum exports have increased from US$ 333 million to US$ 568 million during the last five years. USA, Germany, UK and France were our major destinations in 2006‐07 while we exported only US$ 0.13 million worth of trousers to China.
China had 16% MFN custom duty in 2007 on this product line. Under the FTA, Pakistan’s exports for this tariff line will get Margin of Preference equal to 50% within 5 years. The tariff rate for Pakistan has already come down to 12.96% and will be 12% from the start of year 2009 to come down to 8% by January 1, 2012.
China had an import of US$ 112 million in the year 2007 at 6‐digit level for this product category with major import sources as Italy, Romania, Turkey and Tunisia.
Pakistan having a strong export oriented industry can certainly enter the market in a big way.
7.2 Knitted or Crocheted shirts for Men/Boys Knitted or Crocheted Cotton shirts for Men/Boys (61051000) were Pakistan’s third highest exported item for textiles and clothing in 2006‐07. Pakistan’s per annum exports have increased from US$ 485 million to US$ 533 million in last five years. USA, UK, Spain and Netherlands were our major export partners in 2006‐07 while our exports to China were negligible.
China had 16% MFN custom duty in 2007 on this product line. This tariff line has been placed under category 5 by China i.e. no concession, however, as this product line was placed under EHP with 15% Margin of Preference, the custom duty on Pakistan’s exports has already reduced to 13.5%.
China had an import of US$ 53.2 million in the year 2007 at 6‐digit level for this product category with major import sources as Italy, Japan, Korea and Turkey. Pakistan having 15% margin of preference over MFN certainly can increase its market share in China.
Similar opportunity lies for Knitted or Crocheted Shirts for Men/Boys made of other materials (61059000). Pakistan’s per annum exports for this product line have increased from US$ 4 million to US$
14 The projected tariff rates on Pakistani textiles and clothing exports are at Annexure III.
50
Research, Development and Advisory Cell Ministry of Textile Industry
170 million in last five years. USA, UK and Spain were our major export destinations while we had no exports to China under this tariff line.
China had 16% MFN custom duty in 2007 on this product line. Pakistan after signing EHP got 27% Margin of Preference. This Margin of Preference will increase to 50% in coming year as this tariff line is also placed under category 3 of FTA. At present Pakistan’s exports under this tariff line are taxed at 11.68% and will come down to 8% in 2012.
China had modest imports for this product line, however the market is expanding. Pakistan can increase its exports to China with lesser tariff rate.
7.3 Jerseys, Pullovers etc. (61102000) Pakistan had an export of US$ 16 million for this product line for the year 2002‐03. The exports have increased to US$ 51 million during the last five years. Our exports to China were US$ 5 million in the year 2006‐07.
China had an import of US$ 195 million for Jerseys and Pull over made from cotton cloth last year. It imported jerseys made of MMF and wool as well. Chinese imports for these categories were more than US$ 168 million.
China has placed this product line for zero rating within three years from the initiation of FTA while it was also the part of Early Harvest Program. China had a custom duty of 14% for Most Favored Nations, Pakistan having the benefit of free entry at present, can increase its share easily.
7.4 Cotton Shirts and Blouses for Women/Girls (61061000) Pakistan had an export of more than US$ 80 million under this product line. The exports however have declined a bit. USA, UK and Netherlands were our major export destinations while exports to China were almost nill.
China had an import of more than US$ 10 million under the 6 –digit level for this product. It had 16% MFN duty in 2007 while Pakistan after signing FTA has a preference and is taxed at 13.6%. This MoP will increase upto 50% till 2012 and will go down to 8%.
This is a value added item and Pakistan has a good opportunity to increase its exports in women garments.
7.5 Cotton TShirts, Singlets, Vest etc. (61091000) Pakistan’s per annum exports for this product line have increased from US$ 80 million to US$ 262 million in last five years. USA, Italy, UK and Netherlands were our major export destinations for the year 2006‐07. Pakistan exported US$ 0.5 million worth of this product category to China in 2006‐07.
China had 14% MFN custom duty on this tariff line in 2007, however after the initiation of EHP, Pakistan’s exports were given 33% margin of preference, hence are taxed at 9.38%. Pakistani exports will be getting the same Margin of Preference till 2012 as this tariff line is placed under Category V with no further concessions.
51
Research, Development and Advisory Cell Ministry of Textile Industry
China imported US$ 97 million worth of t‐shirts under this product line with Italy, Korea and Turkey as the major import source. China is also re‐importing under this category line. Pakistan already having 33% margin of preference can increase its exports to China in a comprehensive manner.
7.6 Trousers for Women/Girls Pakistan’s per annum exports for Cotton Trouser for Women/Girls (62046200) have increased from US$ 87 million to US$ 250 million during the last five years. US, Germany, UK and Spain were our major export partners while we exported only US$ 0.05 million worth of Women trousers in 2006‐07.
China had 16% MFN custom duty on this tariff line, however having EHP, our exports are taxed at the rate of 14.4% at present. Further to that, China has placed this product line for 20% Margin of Preference in five years under FTA, which will bring this rate down further to 12.8% in 2012.
China had an import of more than US$ 195 million in 2007 with major import source as Italy, Korea, Turkey and Tunisia. China re‐imports as well, but having this preference Pakistan can increase its exports towards China.
Pakistan although had lesser exports for Trouser made of other textiles materials for women/girls (62046900) as compared to cotton, however, China has placed this tariff line for 50% margin of preference, hence, custom duty on Pakistan will reduce to 8% in 2012 while MFN custom duty was 16%. Custom rate on Pakistan’s exports for this product line has already reduced to 12% and thus provides a big opportunity.
7.7 Socks Full Knee Length (61152010) Pakistan’s per annum exports for this product category has quadrupled during the last four years and stood at US$ 206 million in 2006‐07. USA, Netherlands, Canada and France were our major export destinations while we exported US$ 0.07 million worth of socks to China in 2006‐07.
China had 16% MFN custom duty on socks in 2007. Pakistan after signing EHP got 33% Margin of preference, while will get more preference i.e. upto 50% under FTA. The custom duty on Pakistan’s exports is at 9.38% now and will come down to 8% in 2012.
China had little imports of this product, however Pakistan’s expanding socks export oriented industry can certainly increase its market in China.
7.8 Cotton Terry Towels (63026010) Pakistan’s top exported product line is cotton mill‐made towels. Pakistan’s per annum export under this tariff line has increased from US$ 364 million to US$ 608 million in last five years. USA, UK, Germany and Spain were our major export destination for this product line while we only exported US$ 0.06 million worth of cotton terry towels to China in 2006‐07.
China had 14% MFN custom duty in 2007 on this product line while Pakistan’s exports have been zero rated since the launch of EHP. China although had a modest import for this product line, however, being
52
Research, Development and Advisory Cell Ministry of Textile Industry
zero rated our industry has come nearly at par with the local industry. A population of more than 1.3 billion certainly provides lot of opening for our towel exporters.
7.9 Bed wear Products Mill‐made Cotton Bed Sheets (63023110) were Pakistan’s fourth largest exported item for textiles and clothing in 2006‐07. Pakistan’s per annum exports have, however, declined from US$ 785 million to US$ 514 million during the last four years. USA, UK, France and Netherlands were our top destination for this product line. Our exports to China were only US$ 0.25 million.
China had 14% MFN custom duty in 2007 on this product line. This product line already part of EHP have been zero rated for Pakistan. China although had a modest import for this product line, however, FTA has provided a good chance to hold back the decline of exports for this product line.
The same opportunity exists for other bed linen (63023190), knitted or crocheted bed sheets (63021010), bed linen made of MMF (63023200), of other textile materials (63023990), other printed bed linen (63022100), knitted or crocheted bed linen (63021090), handloom made (63023910), pillow covers (63023150), other bed linen made of MMF (63022200), bed covers (63023130), and other printed bed lined mill‐made (63022900).
7.10 Woven Cotton Fabric Pakistan’s per annum exports for dyed plain (< 85% cotton, =<200 g/m2 ) (52103100) has increased by almost 95% per annum during the last five years. Our exports were more than US$ 214 million for the year 2006‐07. Pakistan’s export to China, however, were less than US$ 0.7 million in the same year. China imported more than US$ 100 million worth of fabric under this tariff line in 2007.
China had 10% MFN import tariff in 2007. Pakistan has been offered zero rating under the EHP for this product line. Having this comparative advantage Pakistan can increase its exports in China from today.
Similar kind of opportunity exists for printed woven fabric (52105100) and other dyed cotton fabric (52121300) as well.
7.11 Denim Fabric (52094200) Pakistan’s exports for Denim Fabric made of cotton (> 200g/m2) have increased from US$ 18 million to US$ 93 million over last five years. Our exports to China were less than US$ 0.2 million in the last year. China imported US$ 257 million worth of Denim Fabrics under this tariff line in the year 2007.
China had 10% MFN custom duty on denim fabric in 2007. Pakistan having zero rated already through signing EHP has a good opportunity to capture Chinese market.
7.12 Other Cotton Fabric Pakistan’s per annum exports for Other Cotton Fabric Unbleached (52081900) have although declined from US$ 414 million to US$ 321 in last five years but still remains amongst the top exported product
53
Research, Development and Advisory Cell Ministry of Textile Industry
lines of textiles and clothing. Turkey, Italy, USA and Germany were our major export destinations for the year 2006‐07. Our exports are also on decline in China. The major reason for decline can be linked to the increasing re‐imports of China.
China had 10% duty on it in 2007, but Pakistan’s exports have already been zero rated under EHP and Pakistan can recapture the Chinese import market.
Pakistan’s export for ‘Other cotton fabrics dyed’ (52083900) has increased from US$ 1.5 million to US$ 69 million during the last five years. Pakistan’s exported US 1.98 million worth of fabric to China under this tariff line. China imported US$ 112 million worth of dyed woven fabrics in the year 2007 as a whole.
China had 10% MFN custom duty on the tariff line. Pakistan having zero rated already through signing EHP has a good opportunity to capture Chinese market.
Similar opportunity exists for printed woven fabric (52085900) as well.
7.13 Single Cotton Yarn Decitex 232.56714.29 (52051200) Single Cotton Yarn Decitex 232.56‐714.29 (52051200) was Pakistan’s fifth largest exported product category for textiles and clothing in 2006‐07. Pakistan’s per annum exports have almost remained stagnant and our exports were US$ 427 million in 2006‐07. China is the major destination for our yarn exports and Pakistan already have 50% share in imports of China.
China had 5% MFN custom duty in 2007 on this product line. This product line already being part of EHP provides 30% Margin of Preference (3.5% custom duty) for Pakistan’s exports to China. China with an import of more than US$ 317 million for this product line at 6‐digit level product line provides enormous opportunity to increase our exports.
Similar kind of opportunity exists for the Multi‐cotton yarn exported under HS Code (52053200), single cotton yarn (52051100) and (52052200).
Pakistan also has 10% Margin of Preference on Cotton Yarn traded under (52053100).

8 Conclusion China is the largest exporter of textiles and clothing in the global market. It is also among the top seven importers. The population of 1.3 billion people and textiles imports of over US$ 25 billion, make China potentially the largest single market for these products. Even a fractional market share in this market will be more than a country’s total exports.
The opportunities for export to China are virtually waiting to be seized. Large quantities of home grown cotton, a strong downstream value chain and the preference now available or those round the corner, place Pakistan in a position of strength. It would, however, be imperative to strategize the approach to make the best use of this arrangement and carefully asses the windows of opportunity and prepare a business/marketing plan accordingly for export growth.

ANNEXURE I
Textiles and Clothing (HS Chapter 50‐63) under the Harmonized System have been classified into 868 6‐digit tariff lines. Under the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 3 of the Harmonized System Convention, contracting parties of the convention can establish additional subdivisions in their Customs tariffs or statistical nomenclatures to identify certain goods which could not be given separate status in the Harmonized System Nomenclature, however, additional subdivisions may only distinguish goods beyond the level of the existing HS subheadings, any code ascribed to them taking the form of an addition to the 6‐digit HS codes. This inevitably means that the tariff lines, total number and/or their description at 8‐digit level may vary from other countries. In case of Pakistan and China both countries have similar product description for similar codes (HS Chapter 50‐63)however both countries have added more codes for further elaboration.
