The first batch of Hainan Free Trade Port to relax trade management and cancel import licenses for customs clearance of goods

Haikou Customs announced on March 18th that the first batch of goods with relaxed trade management and cancelled import licenses at Hainan Free Trade Port have successfully completed customs clearance procedures at Sanya Customs under Haikou Customs, marking the official implementation of this policy and injecting new momentum into foreign trade enterprises to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and smooth the industrial chain.

It is reported that the batch of equipment mainly includes food processing equipment such as cocoa bean ovens and stir fry machines, which belong to the list of goods and items prohibited or restricted from import and export in Hainan Free Trade Port. When importing, enterprises do not need to submit import licenses to customs. Relying on the Hainan Free Trade Port Smart Supervision Platform, enterprises can achieve zero barrier declaration, while customs implements intelligent supervision. The supervision platform automatically establishes accounts and records data, greatly simplifying customs clearance procedures, and significantly reducing enterprise time and compliance costs.

The person in charge of import enterprise Jiaoyan (Hainan) Catering Management Co., Ltd. said that after the relaxation of trade management policies for the import of old mechanical and electrical products, enterprises do not need to apply for import licenses. They only need to check "49- Hainan Free Trade Port Relaxes Trade Management" in a single window. This convenience measure greatly reduces the declaration time and cost for enterprises, allowing equipment to be put into use faster.

Implementing relaxed trade management and promoting trade liberalization and facilitation are important measures for high-level opening up of customs services. Next, Haikou Customs will continue to focus on core policies such as relaxing trade management, zero tariffs, and exempting value-added processing tariffs, optimize regulatory services, strengthen risk prevention and control, and promote the implementation and effectiveness of more Hainan Free Trade Port opening policies.
