How do Hainan locals buy duty-free goods?

Hainan locals can buy duty-free goods directly.

According to national regulations, if you leave the island by plane, you can go shopping in Sanya Duty Free Shop with your ID card and flight information. At present, you can't enjoy the tax-free policy of leaving the island by boat and train. In addition, in 2020, "zero tariff" positive list management will be implemented for imported goods consumed by island residents, allowing island residents to purchase duty-free.

For foreign investment, special pre-entry national treatment and negative list management for free trade ports will also be implemented. If you are engaged in the fields encouraged by the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, the income from overseas direct investment can also be exempted from income tax.

Local residents will be allowed to buy imported daily necessities duty-free on the island.
