But in light of the importance of this project, the Chinese Government decided to add the natural gas supply system for the affected cities to the list of cooperative fields. Foreign investors can choose the method of cooperation, such as joint venture, association or other approaches. Equipment can be imported duty-free. Customs will exempt equipment imported for the project from Customs and value-added duties.
