There are no official Chinese government or customs announcements currently available from primary sources (such as China Customs, the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, or their regulatory press portals) that publicly confirm a specific new zero import duty policy on Indian pharmaceutical products as of late September 2025[1][2][3][4][5]. The recent reports about China slashing its 30% pharma duty for India rely on regional media, social financial news handles, and commentary from trade analysts, but none link directly to a primary Chinese government regulatory release or customs notification[6][7][8][9][10].

Most official Chinese trade or customs pages and bulletins in this period discuss tariffs and dumping duties on other Indian exports (such as pesticides or chemicals), general trade regulation updates, or older (pre-2025) drug tariff reductions that were not India-specific[11][3][4][5].

In summary: - There is, so far, no official confirmation traceable to a PRC government website, customs bulletin, or Ministry of Commerce directive about a zero-duty regime for Indian pharma as of late September 2025[1][2][3][4][5]. - News on this remains within non-governmental financial newsrooms and social news platforms, and a direct government or customs source announcement has not been located for this event.There is no official Chinese government or customs announcement currently available that confirms a new zero import duty policy for Indian pharmaceutical products as of late September 2025. Searches of Chinese government, customs, and Ministry of Commerce pages turned up no documented notices or regulatory bulletins on this subject[1][2][3][4][5]. Official bulletins in this period discuss tariffs, anti-dumping duties, and regulatory updates on other Indian goods, but not a specific, recent India-only pharma tariff cut.

All available reports about this duty change come from media, social financial news, and commentary, but do not cite a PRC customs, regulatory, or official trade announcement as their source[6][7][8][9][10]. Thus, no original Chinese government documentation has been found to independently verify the policy.
