  consultations with China on September 8 and 9, 2016.  Unfortunately, those consultations did not 
resolve the dispute.

 China imposes export  duties on various forms of antimony,12 chromium,13 cobalt,14 copper,15 
graphite,16 lead,17 magnesia,18 talc,19 tantalum,20 and tin.21    
 
The legal instruments through which China imposes export duties on these products, 
operating separately or collectively, includ e but are not limited to the following:  
  
 Foreign Trade Law of the People 's Republic of China  (adopted at the 8th Session of the 
Standing Committee of the Tenth National People's Congress on 6 April 2004, effective 
1 July 2004)  
 
 Customs Law of the People 's Republic of China  (adopted at the 19th Meeting of the 
Standing Committee of the Sixth National People 's Congress on 22 January 1987, 
amended 28 December 2013, in Order No. 8 ) 
 
 Regulation of the People 's Republic of China on Import and Export Duties  (State  Council, 
Order No. 392, adopted at the 26th executive meeting of the State Council on 
29 October 2003, amended February 6, 2016 , in Order No. 666)  
 
 State Council Customs Tariff Commission Notice on Issuing the 2016 Tariff Adjustment

These materials subject to China 's export duties are not listed in Annex 6 of the Protocol

Accession Protocol because these measures constitute taxes and charges applied to exports.
