Dear friend,
Welcome! This letter sets out what you need to know, plainly and in order.
The short version
Hunan names a percentage or a cap for almost every item. Whether a seller gets paid depends on meeting the conditions and on yearly provincial and city notices.

Where it is published
Hunan government website (document library). Yearly claim notices come from provincial and city commerce bureaus; no verified claim portal link was found.
What it means for buyers
- These are supports for Chinese exporters. They are not a quality guarantee for any supplier.
- A supplier saying it is "subsidised" tells you nothing about price or reliability. Check the company itself.
- Never pay a "subsidy processing fee" to anyone; it is a risk signal.
Still uncertain
- Later replacement documents: not found.
- Conditions behind the 500,000 / 1 million / 1 million yuan items: not checked line by line.
- China-Europe train and mail-centre clauses: not found.
- Claim portal link: not found.
