How to Register a Foreign-Invested Manufacturing Company in Hainan Free Trade Port

Hainan FTP: A World-Class Hub for Foreign-Invested Manufacturing

As China’s most open Free Trade Port, Hainan FTP has become a top destination for global manufacturing investors, especially with its full-scale customs special operation in 2026. It offers unrivaled policy advantages for foreign-invested manufacturers: a preferential 15% corporate income tax rate for encouraged manufacturing enterprises (vs. China’s national 25% rate), zero-tariff for imported production equipment and raw materials, and the flagship processing added-value policy—goods with over 30% added value in Hainan can enter the Chinese mainland exempt from import tariffs. The port also features a shortened foreign investment negative list, over 95% of registration procedures online, and fast approval within 3 working days for key park enterprises, greatly lowering operational and compliance costs for global manufacturers.

Key Registration Requirements for Foreign Manufacturing Enterprises in Hainan

Foreign investors setting up a manufacturing company in Hainan must meet clear, streamlined regulatory rules. For industry access, sectors outside the Hainan FTP Foreign Investment Access Negative List adopt a filing-only system with no separate approval required. Registered capital follows the subscription system (with a 5-year contribution period under the 2024 Company Law), with a minimum subscribed capital of RMB 1 million for companies using “Hainan” in their name; special manufacturing-related industries require actual capital contribution. Registration addresses must be legal and compliant, and overseas investors benefit from simplified identity documents—eligible credentials need no notarization or authentication with official commitments. Manufacturing projects also need to comply with basic environmental and production safety requirements, which can be efficiently handled with professional guidance.
