FUNTI MARKET INTELLIGENCE · September 27, 2026
① Today's Highlights
- Export tariffs and market access: this search found no new official policy guidance. Today is the last day of the Mid-Autumn holiday, and neither the General Administration of Customs nor MOFCOM has issued new export policy; items already in force — Vietnam's fuel tax adjustment, Brazil's CKD duty-free quota and the Philippines' motorcycle tariff structure — are not repeated here (public information, 2026-09-27).
- Holiday customs windows: some ports keep consolidated service hours during the Mid-Autumn holiday, and today is the last window for urgent shipments. On September 27, Meisha Customs in Shenzhen accepts inspection applications from 09:00 to 17:00, and Qingdao Customs' Huangdao inspection section handles export cargo inspection from 09:00 to 16:30; the Pingshan bonded-zone cargo gate was open only on September 26 from 09:00 to 17:00 and is closed today (Shenzhen Customs / Qingdao Customs, 2026-09-20 to 09-22).
- The reopening schedule is this week's baseline: from Monday, September 28, customs, the China Foreign Exchange Trade System and domestic commodity markets all reopen, and unfinished declarations, inspections and certificate issuance resume normal processing; port gates in Shanghai and Nanjing reopen at 08:00—09:00 on September 28 per their notices (Nanjing Customs / Shanghai Customs, 2026-09-18 to 09-23).
- Prepare the export licence filing early: the notice for the 2027 annual automobile and motorcycle export licence filing has still not been published today, but given the fixed pattern of the past two years (the 2026 notice was issued on September 27, 2025, and the online filing system opened on September 29), the window is very likely to open within days, so documents should be prepared in advance (MOFCOM General Office, 2025-09-27) (reported on the evening of September 26 that the window was near; this is today's verification).
② Raw Materials & FX
- FX: the RMB central parity rate was suspended from September 25 to 27 for the Mid-Autumn holiday, with no new official figure obtained; the latest available number remains 6.7489 on September 24, while the onshore spot rate held around 6.71 before the holiday (China Foreign Exchange Trade System, 2026-09-24).
- Overseas metal inventories continued to destock unevenly: LME inventory changes on September 25 showed copper up 325 t, lead down 1,550 t and zinc down 1,600 t, with aluminium and tin flat. Takeaway: visible overseas inventories of copper and aluminium are still being drawn down, so spot support for motor enamel wire and aluminium parts has not loosened and no clear price relief is in sight short term (cnal.com, 2026-09-25).
- Domestic spot and futures markets were closed: no new quotes for lithium carbonate, copper, aluminium or steel from September 25 to 27, and prices remain at pre-holiday levels; the gap direction in the first hour after the September 28 reopening will set this week's purchasing tempo, so it is better not to lock prices early on the reopening morning (public market information, 2026-09-27).
③ Overseas Markets
- Indonesia's e-motorcycle purchase incentive is still awaiting a regulation: the Indonesian government confirms it still plans to launch an e-motorcycle purchase incentive in 2026 at IDR 3 million (about USD 169) per unit, with a budget of about IDR 3 trillion and a target of 1 million units, but it is still awaiting the Finance Ministry Regulation (PMK); the Deputy Minister of Industry says the government aims to deliver it within the year. Takeaway: until the subsidy lands, Indonesia's local-capacity and local-content thresholds are unchanged, and pure CBU exports still do not qualify for subsidised models (ANTARA / Jakarta Globe, 2026-09-24).
- Other regions: this search found no new tariff or market-access changes in Southeast Asia, Latin America or Africa for September 26—27; items already reported this week — Ecuador's tariff cuts, Indonesia's Molinas implementing rules and Africa's electric two-wheeler growth — are not repeated (public information, 2026-09-27).
