Since the Hainan Free Trade Port has been closed to the entire island for half a year, foreign trade imports and exports have achieved rapid growth.
This positive development trend is attracting global attention and provides a broader platform for Chinese products to go global.
According to relevant statistics, from the time of customs closure to May 31, 2026, the import and export of goods trade of Hainan enterprises reached 173.98 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 54.6%; the island’s import of “zero-tariff” goods was 2.645 billion yuan, an increase of 1.2 times.
Such achievements fully demonstrate the strong attraction and development potential of Hainan Free Trade Port under the policy advantages.
The Haikou Port Container Terminal photographed in Haikou on June 17 shows a busy scene.
In the terminal, containers are neatly arranged, and freighters frequently come in and out, demonstrating the vitality of Hainan’s foreign trade.
This is an important hub for Hainan products to go to the world. Freighters carrying high-quality Chinese products sail to all corners of the world.
As one of the eight ports open to the outside world in the Hainan Free Trade Port, Qinglan Port also showed its unique charm in the drone photos taken on June 13.
It is like an open door, allowing domestic and foreign goods to circulate quickly here, promoting the prosperity of trade.
In the field of consumption, Hainan’s duty-free shops have also become important places to attract domestic and foreign tourists.
Customers can enjoy shopping for imported daily chemicals, skin care products, glasses and other products at Haikou Wanghao Daily Consumer Goods Duty-free Store, China Duty Free Group Haikou Sun and Moon Plaza Duty-free Store and other places.
These duty-free shops not only provide consumers with more choices, but also promote consumption upgrades in Hainan.
In addition, the new Airbus A321neo aircraft, the first “zero-tariff” aircraft after the Hainan Free Trade Port was closed, made its debut at Haikou Meilan International Airport.
This move not only reduces the company’s operating costs, but also enhances Hainan’s competitiveness in the aviation field, injecting new impetus into Hainan’s economic development.
The growth of foreign trade in Hainan Free Trade Port in the six months since it was closed is the result of policy support, market vitality and corporate efforts.
As the construction of the free trade port continues to advance, it is believed that Hainan will play a more important role in global trade and allow more Chinese goods to go to the world.
