Policy dividends accelerate the release of new business opportunities for enterprises

The Hainan Free Trade Port has implemented a closed operation, with zero tariffs on imported production equipment effectively reducing production costs for enterprises. The 'two ends outside' bonded maintenance business continues to connect with the global market, and the policy of opening up free trade ports brings new development advantages to enterprises.

In the production workshop of a company in Haikou National High tech Zone, bottles of canned beverages are packaged into sellable products through labeling, packaging and other assembly line operations. This new production line, which was just put into operation in early June, is the third production line launched by the enterprise after the closure. The online equipment is imported based on the "zero tariff" policy for self use production equipment at the free trade port. It is expected that after the new production line is put into operation, the annual output can reach 216500 tons.

According to Luo Haijun, the business manager of a certain beverage company, the "zero tariff" equipment has saved a total of 2.6 million yuan, and they will invest some of the saved funds into product research and development.

Since the lockdown, as of May 31st, Hainan's "zero tariff" policy has reduced taxes on imported goods by 440 million yuan. The policy dividends have widely benefited industries such as petrochemicals and integrated circuits.

In addition to the "zero tariff" policy, the categories of goods that can be undertaken by the "two ends outside" bonded maintenance business of Hainan Free Trade Port are also continuously expanding. Haikou Comprehensive Bonded Zone actively innovates business models, collaborates with customs and other departments to provide precise services for enterprises to carry out third-party product maintenance. Not long ago, a company in the area successfully expanded its new business line in the European and American markets. The first order of 5 laptops has been repaired and is currently undergoing quality inspection. After completion, they will be delivered to overseas customers as soon as possible through the convenient transportation routes of the free trade port. With the launch of new business, it is expected to increase the company's annual revenue by over 30 million yuan.

Miao Huage, the business leader of a certain technology company, stated that they can provide global maintenance and after-sales solutions for Chinese overseas brands. In the past six months, they have verified the two-way circulation of bonded maintenance in the Southeast Asian market and the two-way circulation in the European and American markets, laying a solid foundation for the next batch business.

Data shows that since the closure, as of May 31st, Haikou Customs has supervised a total of over 30.3 billion yuan worth of bonded maintenance imports with both ends outside, covering 41 product codes. The maintenance categories mainly include aircraft, mobile phones, servers, laptops, X-ray tubes, etc.
