五部门联合发文！11月1日起完善免税店政策！

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Finance, along with other government departments, has issued a notification to enhance the duty-free shop policy starting from November 1, 2025, aimed at boosting consumption, encouraging overseas spending to return, and promoting the healthy development of duty-free retail business [1]. Summary by Categories Policy Enhancements - The notification outlines four key areas for improving the duty-free shop policy: 1. Optimizing the management of domestic goods tax refund (exemption) policies to support the sales of domestic products in both port exit and city duty-free shops, encouraging the introduction of high-quality products reflecting Chinese traditional culture [4]. 2. Expanding the range of products available in duty-free shops to include more portable consumer goods, such as mobile phones, mini drones, sports goods, health foods, over-the-counter drugs, and pet foods, thereby enriching shopping options for travelers [4]. 3. Relaxing approval authority for duty-free shops, delegating powers related to the establishment of port exit duty-free shops and changes in operating entities, and optimizing the determination of operational areas for these shops to support local adaptations [4]. 4. Improving convenience and regulatory measures for duty-free shops, allowing online booking services and enabling travelers to reserve items in city duty-free shops for pickup at port entry duty-free shops, enhancing the shopping experience for travelers [4].
