December 18, 2025, a day destined to be remembered, Hainan Free Trade Port will officially launch the closure operation! This is not only an important milestone in Hainan’s development history but also a golden opportunity for enterprises to grasp the dividends of the country’s high-level opening-up. At the critical stage of the countdown to closure, are you ready to embrace this development feast?
The port closure policy of Hainan Free Trade Port is an important boost for enterprise development. A deep understanding of these policies can help enterprises better grasp opportunities.
The proportion of “zero tariff” commodity items imported through the “first line” will increase significantly from the current 21% to 74%. This means that enterprises can enjoy zero tariff treatment for more categories when importing goods, greatly reducing import costs. Moreover, goods can circulate freely between eligible subjects on the island without import taxes; when the processing value – added reaches 30%, goods sold to the mainland can also be exempt from tariffs. For manufacturing enterprises, the reduction in the cost of imported raw materials and the saving of tariffs when processed products are sold to the mainland will undoubtedly significantly increase the profit margin of enterprises.
In the direction of “first – line” import, open policy arrangements have been made for some of the existing national prohibited and restricted imported goods. This breaks the previous trade barriers, allowing enterprises to have more opportunities to introduce foreign characteristic products, advanced technologies and equipment, expanding the trade channels and development space of enterprises. Whether it is cross – border e – commerce enterprises introducing niche high – quality goods or manufacturing enterprises introducing advanced production technologies, they will usher in a broader development prospect.
The existing 8 open ports on the island are used as “first – line” ports, and imported goods that meet specific conditions are directly released; at the same time, 10 “second – line” ports such as Haikou New Seaport and Haikou South Port are set up and operated, and a variety of convenient passage measures are innovatively adopted for goods entering the mainland. This will greatly shorten the customs clearance time of goods and improve the efficiency of goods circulation. For fresh import and export enterprises, faster customs clearance means that products can reach consumers in the freshest state, not only reducing losses but also greatly improving customer satisfaction.
A low – intervention, high – efficiency and precise supervision method is implemented for “zero tariff” goods and goods with relaxed trade management measures. While ensuring the smooth implementation of various opening – up policies, it also reduces interference in the normal operation of enterprises, allowing enterprises to focus more on production, operation and market expansion.
Registering enterprises in Hainan Free Trade Port will enjoy many unique core advantages, laying a solid foundation for the long – term development of enterprises.
Domestic goods entering the island are regarded as exports, and enterprises can enjoy the “zero tariff” list policy. For import and export enterprises, this is undoubtedly a huge cost advantage, enabling enterprises to be more price – competitive in the market.
The corporate income tax has been reduced to 15%, and the personal income tax for high – end talents is capped at 15%. The low tax burden level can not only save a lot of tax expenses for enterprises but also better attract and retain high – end talents, providing talent support for the innovative development of enterprises.
Cross – border capital flows are convenient, and offshore financial business is fully open. This provides great convenience for enterprises’ cross – border investment, financing and other activities, helping enterprises expand international business and achieve global development.
The negative list management mode for cross – border trade in services is adopted, which is also a unique advantage of Hainan nationwide. A more relaxed market access environment allows enterprises to have more opportunities to enter emerging fields and carry out innovative businesses.
