Hainan Free Trade Port will officially begin special customs operations on December 18, 2025, marking a major milestone in the country’s drive for higher-level openness. With one month to go until the launch of island-wide special customs operations, Feng Fei, Secretary of the CPC Hainan Provincial Committee, announced the start of an integrated, round-the-clock trial of special customs operations.

A new chapter of institutional opening-up is rapidly taking shape. The imminent launch of island-wide special customs operations at the Hainan Free Trade Port will establish a more streamlined institutional framework and a more open policy environment, enhancing Hainan’s connectivity with the world and creating unprecedented opportunities for global businesses. As preparations reach a critical stage, the Hainan Free Trade Port is poised to embark on a crucial new journey that will inject fresh momentum into its long-term development.
