12月20日，话题"海南封关120多万卡宴只要60万"冲上热搜，引发网友热议。 巨大的免税价差，确实非常吸引人。但普通消费者要想去海南买"零关税"进口车并不可行，因为"零关税"进口汽车并不适用于个人消费。 早在海南封关之前，海南省人民政府就印发了《海南自由贸易港"零关税"进口交通工具及游艇管理办法（试行）》（以下简称《办法》），2025年1月 《办法》又进行了一次修订。办法规定，符合条件的进口车将直接免征关税、增值税、消费税这三项税，所以大幅降低了进口车的车价。 不过，普通消费者要想去海南买"零关税"进口车并不可行，因为"零关税"进口汽车并不适用于个人消费。 《办法》规定，海南进口车免税政策仅针对在海南从事交通运输、旅游业的企业，车辆必须是用于营运，并且须安装车辆自主卫星定位终端，并与监管系 统实行联网联控。 同时，车辆必须确保始发地及目的地至少一端在海南自由贸易港内，且每年在中国内地停留时间累计不超过120天（按日计算，不计次数）。而且即便是 企业购买，还得满足条件：公司要么有15辆以上营运满3年的车，要么一次性进口不少于15辆零关税车。 所以，如果有不法商家宣称"能代购零关税车"，大家请一定要警惕！这种行 ...
