At present, the trade strategy of the Daheng Empire is still based on protecting trade, but it has gradually changed, and some domestic manufacturers have a great advantage, and the import volume is not large; Or high-tech goods that cannot be produced domestically have generally adopted low tax rates, such as agricultural and livestock products, special mineral products, and top-level machinery products.

The former is because the import volume is not large, even if the imported goods are not able to compete with domestic goods under low tariffs, it has no impact on adopting low tariffs!

For example, at the beginning of this year, the Jingzhou Machinery Company of the Daheng Empire purchased a batch of equipment from a machinery company in the Kingdom of Krull, including the most advanced 50-ton steel furnace in contemporary technology, a 650-millimeter edge smashing machine, a 450-millimeter rolling mill, and a new generation of 2,000-ton hydraulic press with more advanced technology.

The introduction of these large-scale equipment is basically free of customs duties!

Because these equipment are important weapons of the country, they are used by the naval gun factory in the Jingzhou Machinery Company to produce more advanced large-caliber long-barreled naval guns.

With these newly imported equipment and the original equipment, the naval artillery factory under the Jingzhou Machinery Company is theoretically capable of producing gun barrels weighing 120 tons and more than 20 meters long in terms of hardware conditions.

This processing scale can even be used to process and produce naval guns with a caliber of 400 millimeters, 45 times or even 50 times the barrel.

Of course, it only meets the most basic hardware conditions, but in fact, the production of a large-caliber naval gun, in addition to these hardware facilities, also requires specific processing technology, which is more difficult.

Many countries actually have large machinery and equipment, but they still can't come up with naval guns with 300 mm and 335 times the caliber and 350 mm and 350 times the caliber!

Because they don't know the specific processing process!

The manufacture of large-caliber naval guns is not just a matter of making a bunch of steel and hammering them, and the naval guns that are made in this way are in vain, and it is estimated that they will explode after firing a single shot.

Every progress made by Daheng people in large-caliber naval artillery is only 300 mm naval guns from 30 times the caliber to 35 times the caliber, which is behind the efforts of many technicians for many years, and if you want to make 300 mm naval guns from 35 times to 40 times the caliber, then it is even more difficult.

However, although the process will not be able to keep up for a while, but the equipment can be imported first, after all, Daheng people are also worried that one day the Krull Kingdom will suddenly refuse to sell these super-large and high-precision equipment.

Naturally, it was necessary to take advantage of the fact that the Krull Kingdom had not adopted a technological blockade of the Great Heng Empire to increase the amount of imports.

And these super-large, high-precision equipment, people are willing to sell it to you, and it would be good if there was no technical blockade for you, and tariffs would be charged......

And even if there are more tariffs, the Krull Kingdom doesn't care, and now in the entire Blue Star, only the Krull Kingdom has the technical ability to manufacture these advanced large-scale machinery and equipment and export them.

Other countries are still a little behind.

Just like the kerosene of the Daheng Empire is in short supply, the high-end mechanical products of the Krull Kingdom are also in short supply, and if you want to buy it, you need to place an order in advance, which is very expensive, if you want to get the order quickly, you have to pay extra money!

Therefore, people are not worried about other countries imposing high tariffs on their own machinery products!

Just like the Daheng Empire, in the past few years, in fact, tariffs were levied on this kind of high-end machinery products, but it was found that it was useless, although the tariffs were collected, but it was still necessary to import, because there was no substitute for high-tech machinery products in China, and the high tariffs did not affect the Krull Kingdom, but increased the burden on enterprises, so later it was simply reduced the tariffs on these mechanical products to reduce the burden on enterprises to import high-end machinery products.

At the end of the day, it's still your own technology!

For example, the Daheng Empire has been trying to tackle these large-scale equipment and all kinds of precision equipment over the years, although it has also achieved some results, but it has to be said that the technical difficulty of these high-precision equipment is too high.

Last year, a professor at Imperial College London couldn't hold back and dismantled a set of high-precision machining machine tools imported from the Kingdom of Krull owned by Jingzhou Machinery Company, and then tried to map and map a reverse imitation.

When it was dismantled, it was very smooth, and the surveying and mapping was also very smooth, that is, when the surveying and mapping was completed and put back together, it was found that there were a few more small parts, and then it was not installed back......

The last group of people tossed and tossed and failed to toss well, so this high-precision machining machine worth more than 200,000 constant yuan was scrapped......

This made the person in charge of the Jingzhou Machinery Company half angry, and the professors of the Institute of Precision Research in the Imperial College of Science and Technology all patted their chests and said that they were just dismantling the surveying and mapping, but there was a thought that these so-called top precision machinery experts in the empire were all old men staring at the title of professor, and they couldn't even put it back after dismantling......

That's more than 200,000 high-precision machine tools, specially used to process all kinds of high-precision parts, and the entire empire has only a hundred or so units, all of which are imported from the Krull Kingdom.

However, after dismantling and scrapping, it is not that there are no results at all, at least the Imperial College of Technology's Rice Milling Machinery Research Institute, according to this machine tool that was scrapped by themselves, carried out retrograde imitation, and after tossing for half a year, it can be regarded as getting a machine tool this year, although the processing accuracy is still not as good as the imported Krull Kingdom products, but it has created a new high in the processing accuracy of the empire's high-precision machine tools!

It was then produced by Jingzhou Machinery Company and began to be supplied to domestic enterprises.

At this time, the customs agencies of the empire are also very cooperative, targeted to foreign similar products to increase tariffs, exempt empire finally imitated products because of insufficient performance resulting in no market, and then drag down the research and development of the entire domestic high-end machinery products.

Therefore, the tariff policy of the empire in the machinery industry in international trade has always been changing.

The low tariffs that you can't get for the time being, the ones that you have great competitiveness don't have to worry about the competition, and the tariffs are low, but you can get them out, but the competitiveness is not great, and the tariffs are super high.

Generally speaking, the Empire's tariff policy was relatively flexible, not for the purpose of collecting tariffs, but to protect the Empire's economic development and the orderly and steady progress of domestic scientific research.

At the same time, it also negotiates tariff agreements with other countries on the condition of its own tariffs, and strives to let other countries reduce the tariffs on Daheng's export goods.

Of course, this is usually an exchange of interests.

You lower tariffs, I lower tariffs, you raise tariffs, I raise tariffs.

For example, in the past two years, the trade conflict between the Daheng Empire and the Gafia Empire has been relatively large, and they have been negotiating on tariff issues, but they have not achieved too good results.

Because the trade conflict between the two countries is relatively large, such as textiles, the textiles of the Daheng Empire are mainly cheap cloth, cheap woolen wool, and cheap leather.

But unfortunately, the Gafia Empire is also a new player in the textile industry, and most of their textiles also rely on domestic low costs to maintain low prices, so as to maintain competitiveness.

In the last two years, the textiles of these two countries are each other's biggest competitors in the national market!

This is a bloody blow in the market of a third country, let alone in the domestic market of both sides.

In addition, the Gafia Empire has recently vigorously developed their own civilian product processing industry, and they are naturally very vigilant against the continuous impact of the cheap daily industrial products of the Daheng people, and their manufacturing industry.

Therefore, the Gafia Empire adopted a high tariff policy on the goods of Daheng, not only competing goods, but even kerosene without much competition.

In order to be more confident when the two sides negotiate!

However, the oil industry of the Daheng Empire is very calm about this!

Our Daheng kerosene has been in short supply in the global market, and the FOB price has not changed since the unification, so there is no loss to us!

Besides, now we are the only ones in the entire Blue Star who can export oil, you have no substitutes at all, you have imposed high tariffs, and it is not the same to import so much kerosene, unless you are willing to return to the era of high-priced animal and plant lighting oil!

The trade conflict between the Empire and the Gafian Empire has not been going on for a day or two, but has lasted for two or three years, and it is becoming more and more intense.

Behind this is not because of the hatred between the two peoples, in fact, many Daheng people don't even know where the Gafia Empire is, the focus is because the industrial development models of the two countries are highly overlapping, and they are trying to use lower domestic labor costs and resource costs to develop low-end industries, and then gain the market.

This highly overlapping industrial model has also led to the increasing contradictions between the two countries!

On the other hand, the Great Heng Empire, the Krull Kingdom, and the Walya Empire, the two world powers, have no trade conflicts, and even the trade cooperation between the two sides is very friendly.

This is because the Daheng Empire imports a large number of goods from the Krull Kingdom every year, even if the Daheng Empire implements a high tariff policy on most of the ordinary industrial products in order to protect its own industry, but the Krull people still maintain a high export volume to the Daheng Empire, because the Daheng Empire needs to import a large number of high value-added mechanical products from them.

Now the Great Heng Empire has become the second largest exporter of the Krull Kingdom!

At the same time, the Great Heng Empire also provided a large amount of cheap grain, cotton, coffee, cocoa, etc. to the Krull Kingdom.

There are also a large number of low-end cheap products such as cheap cloth and daily industrial products.

These cheap products are also needed by the Krull people, after all, not everyone in the Krull Kingdom is rich, and the poor account for the vast majority of them, which belongs to a very typical pyramid structure of industrial society.

The cheap goods produced by Daheng also have a certain market in the Krull Kingdom.

The two sides traded in large quantities and each took what they needed, which is why the current trade relationship between the Great Heng Empire and the Krull Kingdom was harmonious and stable.

This will change, at least not for now, although this will change in the future.
