China Launches Island-Wide Special Customs Zone in Hainan to Boost Free Trade

  • China has designated Hainan Island as a special customs supervision zone, launching island-wide special customs operations in the Hainan Free Trade Port.
  • The move expands zero-tariff coverage from 21% to 74% of products and allows freer entry of overseas goods with more business-friendly measures.
  • Foreign companies benefit from lower taxes, broader access to service sectors, and easier access to the Chinese mainland market.
  • Goods processed in Hainan with at least 30% local value added can be sold duty-free to the mainland.
  • Since 2020, over 9,600 foreign-invested enterprises have been established in Hainan, reflecting China’s ongoing efforts to promote free trade and high-standard opening-up.
