Core Viewpoint - The full island customs closure operation is a landmark project in the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, marking a significant step towards further opening up the economy, set to officially start on December 18, 2025 [1][3]. Summary by Relevant Sections Customs Closure Policies - The customs closure policies can be summarized by "four more": 1. More favorable "zero tariff" policy for goods, increasing the proportion of "zero tariff" imported goods from 21% to 74% [3][4]. 2. More relaxed trade management measures, allowing open arrangements for certain previously prohibited or restricted imports [4]. 3. More convenient passage measures, with 8 existing open ports as "first line" ports and 10 "second line" ports for innovative passage measures [4]. 4. More efficient and precise regulatory models, ensuring low intervention and high efficiency for "zero tariff" goods [4]. Changes in Tax Policies - The tax policy for goods will see three significant changes: 1. The coverage of "zero tariff" goods will increase to approximately 6,600 tax items, accounting for 74% of all goods, a rise of nearly 53 percentage points compared to pre-closure policies [6]. 2. The range of beneficiaries will expand to include various enterprises and institutions with actual import needs across the island [7]. 3. Restrictions on the conditions for "zero tariff" goods will be relaxed, allowing free circulation among beneficiaries without the need to pay import taxes [7]. Import and Export Management - The "Prohibited and Restricted Import and Export Goods List" was released, enhancing transparency and openness in trade management, allowing for the cancellation of import license management for 60 old mechanical and electrical products, covering about 80% of such products [8]. - The customs management principle will be "first line" liberalization and "second line" regulation, with significant improvements in customs clearance efficiency [9]. Operational Readiness - Hainan's customs closure policies are ready, with all necessary documents and systems in place, including hardware facilities and a smart regulatory platform [11]. - The focus is on policy implementation, ensuring that the new customs closure operation is effectively executed and continuously improved [11].

Core Points - The core policy of Hainan Free Trade Port construction is the "zero tariff" system for imported goods, which will expand the range of eligible entities and products after the island's closure [1][2] Group 1: Zero Tariff Policy - The "zero tariff" policy will allow more entities to benefit from it, expanding from currently registered independent legal entities to include various enterprises and institutions with actual import needs [1] - The range of "zero tariff" products will increase from approximately 1,900 tax items to about 6,600 tax items under a negative list management system [1] Group 2: Cost Reduction and Logistics - The zero tariff policy will significantly reduce production costs for eligible entities, exemplified by a fishing enterprise saving approximately 180,000 yuan on importing a deep-sea farming cage worth over 800,000 yuan due to the elimination of 8% import duty and 13% value-added tax [2] - The flow of goods among eligible entities will become more convenient, allowing for tax-free circulation of zero tariff goods and their processed products, further lowering costs and promoting industrial cluster development within the free trade port [2]

Group 1 - The "zero tariff" policy in Hainan Free Trade Port has been significantly optimized, expanding the range of zero-tariff goods to approximately 6,600 tax items, covering 74% of all goods [1][2] - The optimization of the "zero tariff" policy will lower production and operational costs for enterprises on the island, enhance industrial added value, and accelerate the formation of high-end manufacturing and modern service industry ecosystems [1][2][3] - The expanded "zero tariff" list will reduce raw material costs for registered enterprises and encourage deeper processing, benefiting industries reliant on imported raw materials [2][3] Group 2 - The optimized processing value-added policy will push the industrial chain towards higher value-added segments, particularly benefiting sectors like raw material-dependent manufacturing, deep processing of agricultural products, and biomedicine [3][4] - The unique tax arrangements in Hainan are expected to support the construction of a high-end manufacturing and modern service industry ecosystem, creating a cluster of small and medium-sized enterprises closely connected to leading domestic and international companies [4][5] - Hainan's strategic location within the RCEP region positions it as a key platform for enhancing economic cooperation with ASEAN countries [5][6] Group 3 - Despite the progress, Hainan Free Trade Port still has gaps compared to international high-standard free trade zones, such as those in Dubai and Singapore, particularly in terms of trade liberalization and financial openness [7][8] - The province aims to strengthen the dual mechanism of "integrated manufacturing + consumption" while enhancing local consumer markets and international tourism consumption [7][8] - Experts suggest further expanding financial openness and exploring innovative tax policies for service trade to enhance international competitiveness [8]
