One month into the island-wide special customs operations, Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) in south China has made initial achievements in trade and logistics efficiency.

On Dec. 18 last year, China launched island-wide special customs operations in the Hainan FTP, allowing freer entry of overseas goods, expanding zero-tariff coverage, and introducing more business-friendly measures.
