Hainan Offshore Duty-Free Policy Starts Today

Hainan, the world's long-awaited "

Goods: Sanya duty-free shops stocked enough

Today, Hainan Sanya duty-free shops will welcome the first batch of domestic tourists, everything is ready.

Hainan Island is the fourth region in the world after the two islands of Mazu and Kinmen in South Korea, Jeju Island, Japan, Okinawa and Taiwan.

The offshore duty-free policy was first tried in Haikou and Sanya. However, due to the fact that Haikou duty-free shops have not yet been completed, Sanya duty-free shops have become the only Islands duty-free shops in Hainan. Therefore, the storage of goods in Sanya stores has become a problem for many consumers.

Tengrui, deputy general manager of duty free shops in Sanya, said 19 days, Sanya duty-free shops have 300 million yuan worth of goods, hoping that Islands's tax exemption policy can have a good start.

If the supply of Sanya duty-free shops is in short supply, the supply stations and other duty free shops of the group will provide timely replenishment for Sanya duty-free shops.

According to the information provided by Sanya duty-free shops, Sanya duty-free shops operate ten major categories, including perfume, cosmetics, jewelry, watches, clothing, leather goods, bags, sunglasses, travel articles, Chinese and Hainan specialties, and nearly 10000 kinds of top luxury brands in the world.

The duty-free retail price of the same goods in Sanya duty-free shops is lower than the domestic tax price of about 15~35%.

Not only has the advantage of keeping the price difference with the tax, but also the tax-free price of the duty free shops in Sanya is still flat or slightly lower than the tax-free prices of the neighboring countries and regions.

Sanya duty-free shops are divided into two levels, with an area of 7000 square meters.

There are dozens of twenty thousand kinds of commodities, including perfume, jewelry, watches and leather goods, including nearly 100 luxury brands.

Among them, GUCCI, Tiffany, Armani, MontBlanc and other brands are the first time to set up duty-free brands in China.

Sale: shopping cards only need 90 seconds to settle.

Duty-free shops in Sanya did not dare to neglect the peak of the blowout passenger traffic on the first day of the opening of the gate. In April 15th, the duty free shop conducted stress tests on the settlement and other work. The results showed that the settlement of a single business took only 90 seconds to complete.

According to the introduction, the container commissioners of the 250 duty-free shops have increased to 350, and four days ago, the container commissioners and information systems conducted four stress tests to cope with the peak passenger flow. They asked the Commissioner to accurately interpret the tourists' offshore duty-free policy and speed up the speed of each counter.

In addition to the fast rate of payment, duty-free shops are also very modern in terms of payment.

Those who buy duty-free goods at duty-free shops must first handle pactions with personal information for shopping cards.

Among them, team guests are handled at the front desk. Non team guests can be handled at the cashier's desk. The bar code on the shopping card will record the identity information, ticket information and purchase records of each customer.

Shipment: equipped with electronic code lock, shuttle truck delivery.

According to reports, the duty free shops in Sanya are open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., according to the shopping process, to ensure that the goods are delivered to the airport pick-up points in Haikou and Sanya on time.

Passengers from Haikou Meilan Airport, Islands, completed the purchase paction at least one day before the flight took place; from Islands Phoenix Airport of Sanya to less than 6 hours before the flight took off (to complete the final purchase date).

Due to the fact that the duty free shops in Sanya are still some distance away from the pickup point of Haikou Meilan Airport, Sanya duty-free shops are equipped with 3 large trucks, 2 small trucks and 2 minibus to ensure the exact and smooth purchase of the purchased goods.

According to the airport flight information, the delivery time is reasonably arranged. After completing the purchase payment, tourists can pick up the goods only by taking delivery cards to the airport pick up point.

According to a person familiar with the matter, the 7 vehicles responsible for pporting goods are equipped with cipher electronic locks to ensure the safe delivery of goods.

Before the shop, special zebra crossing is set up to open up large vehicle depot.

In addition, the implementation of the tax-free policy will be implemented on the first day, that is, 4 hours before the passenger takes off, the goods can also be picked up at the airport pickup point.

That is to say, passengers from Sanya Phoenix Airport Islands will be able to shop at duty-free shops after 2 p.m. tomorrow.

According to media reports, the China International Travel Service and the China Hainan group have signed an agreement to formally introduce duty-free shops into the itinerary of Sanya. The "duty-free shopping tour in Sanya" has also been launched, and the registration is very optimistic.

Previously, a number of travel agencies operating domestic tours also included duty-free shops in the recent itinerary. CYTS said it would introduce Hainan tour products including duty-free shops, such as adding duty-free shopping trips to team tours, or increasing tax-free shopping trips in free travel according to the requirements of guests.

A head of a CF is confident of the tour of the tax-free shop. He said: "after the first group, Sanya's tax-free shopping tour will become our regular Sanya product. We can also arrange the itinerary according to the needs of tourists."

Sanya tourism has entered a more abundant 4S stage (sunshine, beach, sea, shopping). Holiday shopping + product mix will have a good development space.

However, there are also some travel agencies that are relatively slight. The general manager of Beijing Chunqiu travel agency, Yang Yang, said in an interview that the implementation of Hainan Islands's tax rebate policy will form a hot spot in Hainan tourism in the short term, but it will not change the sense of tradition that people travel to Hainan for tourism and leisure.

Ctrip related people also believe that Hainan will not completely replace the status of Hongkong shopping paradise, some brand new products will first land in Hongkong, the trend of attracting more people.

Shanghai and Zhejiang are eager to buy tax-free tax.

For Haikou duty-free shops that have not yet been opened, it is speculated that their ownership will be "going to other homes" to break the monopoly of the group.

Earlier, Tan Li, vice governor of Hainan Province, told a news conference in March that the Hainan provincial government had submitted an application to the State Council to set up a state-level tax exempt goods company and grant concession to tax exempt goods.

It is learnt that following the Hainan pilot's departure from Islands's tax rebate, Shanghai Pudong and Zhejiang Zhoushan also want to try the related shopping tax exemption and tax rebate pilot.

With the construction of Disney in Shanghai, Shanghai intends to apply to the relevant departments of the central government to introduce the concept of tax exemption in a resort area in Pudong.

It is reported that Shanghai's application for shopping tax-free tax rebate pilot has been in the stage of research and demonstration. When it comes to the airport or Disney, it will pick up tax-free shops or set up a designated tax rebate store.
