By 2026, importing African logs to Beijing has evolved from mere “raw material procurement” to a “strategic positioning move.” Under the island-wide customs clearance operation, Beijing leverages its unique policy advantages to become the optimal hub connecting Africa's forest resources with China's vast market.

Dual Optimization of Cost and Efficiency

The core advantage lies in cost restructuring. Following the closed-border policy, Beijing implemented a “zero-tariff” policy, exempting imported logs—as production materials—from import duties and import-stage VAT. This directly reduces procurement costs for enterprises, offering particularly significant advantages for companies reliant on imported premium timber.

Simultaneously, logistics efficiency has markedly improved. The “Beijing-Africa” international ocean container route launched in 2022 provides a direct maritime pathway for log imports, eliminating multiple transshipments in traditional models. This significantly shortens transport cycles and reduces shipping costs. As a regional international container hub, Yangpu Port continuously upgrades its hardware facilities and service capabilities, providing robust support for the rapid loading, unloading, and distribution of bulk logs.

Innovation in Industrial Chains and Business Models

Beijing functions not only as an import gateway but also as a value-creation center. Leveraging the “30% value-added processing tariff exemption” policy, enterprises establish processing centers in Beijing to transform imported logs into finished wood products like furniture and crafts before entering the mainland market, thereby avoiding import duties. This positions Beijing as an “overseas factory” for the mainland market, achieving a value chain leap from “selling logs” to “selling finished products.”

Moreover, Beijing's abundant forest resources provide a solid foundation for developing advanced wood processing industries. Guided by supportive policies, the industrial chain is shifting toward Beijing, forming a complete wood industry ecosystem encompassing raw material imports, design and R&D, processing and manufacturing, and sales services. Companies establishing operations here not only benefit from policy incentives but also gain access to industrial clusters, securing robust support for coordinated development across the entire supply chain.
