Paraquat's HS code adjustment may stimulate its export price


Recently, the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA) system updated the ownership of HS code of 40% paraquat solution——the HS code has been brought under the chapter 38 in Customs tariff from the original chapter 29 since Aug.13, 2012, according to the announcement of relative agricultural departments in China. The adjustment of HS code means that the export rebate rate of 40% paraquat solution will be lowered from 9% to 5%. And it will increase the VAT and reduce the profit of paraquat exporters. Accordingly this adjustment may further stimulate paraquat's export price, according to CCM’s September Issue of Herbicides China News.


According to the definition of the Customs tariff, the 40% paraquat solution is a kind of green liquid containing paraquat technical, emetic, corrosion inhibitor and water. In the Customs tariff, organic compounds is classified into the chapter 29 while miscellaneous chemical products is classified into the chapter 38. Before the HS code adjustment, the 40% paraquat solution was considered as a kind of organic compounds and put under the chapter 29 with the HS code number of 2933399022.

In Aug. 2012, the FOB Shanghai price of paraquat TK rised slightly, after the announcement was issued. Accoding to the quotation from the main paraquat manufacturers in China, such as Nanjing Redsun Co., Ltd. (Nanjing Redsun), Shandong Lvfeng Pesticide Co., Ltd. (Shandong Lvfeng) and Hubei Sanonda Co., Ltd. (Hubei Sanonda), the FOB Shanghai price of 42% paraquat TK was USD2,290/t in Aug., 2012, increasing by about USD80/t from that of July, 2012(USD2,210/t).

Explained by a sales manager in Nanjing Redsun, a company with 24,000t/a of paraquat TK (the biggest capacity in China), the price increase of 42% paraquat TK is attributed to the reduction of export tax rebate and the recent demand increase from the market. In other words, Nanjing Redsun increased the price of 42% paraquat TK to offset the profit decrease resulted from the reduction of export rebate.

It's observed that Nanjing Redsun didn't have much opinion on the adjustment but to raise the price of paraquat in response just like other paraquat manufacturers. 

Recently, the sales of paraquat products in Hubei Sanonda has slipped a litttle. A sales manager of the company explained that it is the price increase of paraquat that led to the sales drop.

It's reported by some media that recently there was an argument between some paraquat enterprises and China Customs that whether the HS code of 40% paraquat solution should be classified into chapter 38 or chapter 29.

In early July, 2012, the Ministry of Agriculture of China issued new regulations on paraquat registration, in a move to follow the official decision of restricting paraquat SL in China. In the new regulation, it defines that emetic, odor agents and colorant should be added into the paraquat solution products. (Herbicides China News 1207: ICAMA implements paraquat restriction)

China Customs considers that because 40% paraquat solution is compounded with emetic, odor agents and colorant, it should be declared under the chapter 38, where the miscellaneous chemical products are classified into.

However, some paraquat enterprises considered that declaring paraquat under the chapter 38 was unreasonable, because the effect of paraquat solution doesn't changed, even though it is added with protective ingredients.

Anyway, this argument has been closed into a conclusion that the HS code of 40% paraquat solution products is put under the chapter 38 from Aug.13, 2012. And the paraquat enterprises should obey the government's decision about paraquat export.

Chinese Trifluralin Meets White-hot Supply/Demand

Recent trifluralin in China meets intense supply/demand due to the insufficient output and white-hot purchase during peak sales season, which contributes so much to price boom of Chinese trifluralin in Oct. 2011, according to CCM’s October Issue of Herbicides China News.

In the price monitoring of trifluralin, CCM International found that most trifluralin technical manufacturers declined to offer quotation of trifluralin technical due to the lack of spot goods. And those manufacturers who are willing to accept deals expressed that the new orders must queue to the next year, 2012.

"Trifluralin technical production lines in our company are running at full capacity now." Almost all active technical manufacturers expressed like this in CCM International's investigation.

One sales manager of Fengshan Group Co., Ltd., whose trifluralin technical reached 8,000t/a, detailed that their trifluralin technical production reached full load immediately after it restarted in Sept. 2011, one month behind the regular period of check and maintenance during July and Aug. every year.

Aiming to make sure smooth supply during the peak season, generally, Chinese trifluralin manufacturers produce trifluralin one month earlier than the peak season, namely in Sept. But overseas demand usually overwhelms the domestic supply in peak season, resulting in relatively intense supply/demand. Especially contributed by the inflation in China this year, trifluralin price rushes high in 2011.

Trifluralin technical price in early Oct. exceeded USD6,200/t, up almost USD700/t over the average price in Sept. 2011. On the whole, trifluralin technical price in China keeps aggressive in recent months. It's predicted that this price uptrend of trifluralin technical in China will continue in the remaining months of 2011.

As emphasized by those trifluralin manufacturers who quoted technical price, recent quotation of trifluralin technical can't remain stable in a long term. In other words, this quotation will still fluctuate in an estimate, impacted by the white-hot supply/demand.

In terms of those who suspended trifluralin production, unstable material expenses are mainly responsible for their idle trifluralin production. One salesman from Shandong Qiaochang Chemical Co., Ltd. (Shandong Qiaochang) explained that relative material prices fluctuate so frequently that Shandong Qiaochang also suspends the production in order to avoid the risk of deficit.

Because of the inflation and choppy overseas economic market, in fact, Chinese herbicide manufacturers endure large cost pressure in 2011. Besides trifluralin, almost all herbicides keep at a high price level in 2011. As indicated in CCM International's price monitoring, the ex-work price of trifluralin technical in Oct.2011 is about USD2,500/t higher than that in the corresponding period of 2010.

It can be predicted that the future price of trifluralin technical in Nov. and Dec. will change slightly because most active manufacturers in China have stopped quoting price. What's more, this white-hot supply/demand of trifluralin in China will continue until 2012.
