According to the WeChat official account of "Hainan Duty Free Haikou Store"，iPhone11、iPhone11 Pro Max、iPhone SE、iPad、AirPods Pro and other Apple products are tax-free。Take the iPhone 11 Pro Max 512GB version as an example，The price on Apple’s official website is 12,699 yuan，But the price in duty-free shops in Hainan is only 10,210 yuan，In other words, you can save 2,489 yuan by purchasing this mobile phone at Hainan Duty Free Shop，Equivalent to a 20% discount。

Fang Xu told reporters from China-Singapore Jingwei，You can save at least 1,000 yuan when buying mobile phones at Hainan duty-free shops。“Since the tax-free shopping policy has just been implemented，Limited purchase of 1 mobile phone per person in duty-free stores，If you need to bring goods，Add 200 yuan purchasing fee and you can pay by SF Express。”

Liu Xin, another purchasing agent who lives in Hainan, told a reporter from Sino-Singapore Jingwei，After Hainan’s tax exemption limit is increased to 100,000 yuan，“It’s really convenient to buy more duty-free items，In that way, you can earn more money from ‘errand fees’。" Liu Xin said，I have houses in Sanya and Haikou，So it is very convenient to visit Sanya International Duty Free City and Haikou Riyue Plaza Duty Free Shop，When helping to "bring goods", a "running fee" of 50 yuan will be charged for each order。

"As an Islander，Many relatives and friends come and go from the island frequently，So I will ask them to pick up the goods from the island，Then give them some hard work，Can also be used to offset the cost of ferry tickets and air tickets。"Liu Xin said。

In fact，Hainan Islands Tourist Duty Free Shopping Policy Implemented，Many students studying in Hainan、Islanders also plan to “get into side business”。

“Hainan purchasing agency costs and risks are high”

As a major outbound country，Chinese consumers have influenced the international duty-free market in recent years，Also known as the "Walking Wallet"。Public information display，In 2018, mainland Chinese outbound tourists spent US$277.3 billion overseas，Of which overseas shopping consumption exceeds 110 billion US dollars，Duty-free channels account for 37%。

Facing the increasingly strong demand for consumption upgrade，Many people have started a purchasing agency business。In recent years，"Handai" in Jeju Island, South Korea、"日世" of Rishang Duty Free Shop，Hong Kong’s “Hong Kong Generation”，is the source of most purchasing agents。

Under overseas travel restrictions due to the epidemic，“Korean”, “Japanese” and other delivery channels have been severely impacted。Then，Will "Qiongdai" bringing duty-free goods from Hainan become a trend？

Hainan’s new duty-free shopping policy clearly says “no” to this。June 29，Ministry of Finance、The General Administration of Customs and the State Administration of Taxation stated on the duty-free shopping policy for tourists from Hainan’s outlying islands，“Purchased duty-free goods from outlying islands，Final goods for consumer’s personal use，Not allowed to enter the domestic market for resale。”and attempted to resell duty-free goods in Hainan duty-free shops、Purchasing and smuggling individuals，will be included in the credit record，No more duty-free purchases from Hainan Islands within three years。and，For those who have constituted smuggling，It may even constitute a crime，Will be held criminally responsible by the customs in accordance with the law。

Otherwise，In order to prevent purchasing behavior，The announcement also stipulates the number of pieces of duty-free goods。Purchase restrictions 188bet app have been implemented for cosmetics and electronic products that are particularly popular for purchasing agents，It is stipulated that cosmetics can only be purchased up to 30 pieces at a time，Liquor shall not exceed 1500ml at a time，Maximum 4 items per mobile phone。

Wang Yu who studied abroad，I have helped my classmates buy overseas products since I was an undergraduate student，Have been part-time purchasing agent for 5 years now，From following other international students to come into contact with the purchasing agency industry and “posting advertisements” to coming into contact with “channels” myself，Now he is a "veteran" in the purchasing agent circle。

For the implementation of Hainan’s new tax-free policy，Wang Yu said that the cost and risk of purchasing on behalf of Hainan are relatively high，I don’t plan to start Hainan purchasing business。“Buy Hainan Duty Free Products，Need to submit personal passport and travel information，Includes ferry ticket、If you bring less goods。If you bring less goods，The purchasing fee may not be enough to cover the air tickets and accommodation fees to and from Hainan，And bring more goods，After being detected by customs，Not only must we pay taxes on excess goods，And it will also be included in your credit record，In order to earn this purchasing fee，It is not cost-effective to make a special trip to Hainan。”

Wang Yu said，There is a trend now，Everyone knows more and more about tax-free e-commerce channels，Buy products from the official website of foreign duty-free shops。"March and April this year，International routes disrupted by the epidemic，Many overseas purchasing agents have also been suspended，To support tax-free operations，South Korea and other countries have allowed overseas tourists to purchase duty-free products directly on duty-free e-commerce platforms，I usually use Rakuten、Silla、Hanji、Free daily waiting。”She also pointed out，Compared to Hainan，Hong Kong、Japan、South Korea’s duty-free shops for duty-free goods，No quota measures 188bet app have been implemented，Sometimes you can use the exchange rate to make a profit，This makes it more scalable，The profit margin is also relatively larger。

Expert: There are difficulties in supervision of purchasing agents

Zhang Yuhao, a lawyer 188bet app at Beijing Weiheng Law Firm, said in an interview with Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client，According to the new duty-free shopping policy on Hainan Islands，If there is no duty-free shop shopping record that year，The one-time purchase of goods worth 100,000 yuan does not exceed the limit of the new regulations，So the behavior itself does not violate the regulations。But if the returned goods are put back on sale in the domestic market，Will violate relevant regulations。“This adjustment to Hainan’s tax exemption policy，The main purpose is to release policy dividends，Profit sharing and consumers，Promote the construction of Hainan International Tourism Consumption Center，Enhance confidence in the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port。And reselling、Purchase、The act of smuggling duty-free goods，It will violate the original intention of the policy adjustment of "benefiting the people"。”

Zhang Yuhao pointed out，There are two difficulties that regulators face。One，How to determine whether the goods on the market are duty-free goods in Hainan。The resale channel for this type of purchasing agency is generally through online micro-business，After the promulgation of the "E-Commerce Law"，The state has increased the control over micro-business operators on WeChat and other platforms，The risk of taking a chance and planning to profit from new regulations and policy adjustments is still very high；Part 2，How to determine the scale of “re-sale”。For example，The situation when the agent purchases for free for relatives and friends，His relatives and friends may be based on the emotional bond between the two parties，Reward with red envelope，At this time, the relationship between the two parties is a buying and selling relationship，It is still an ordinary mutual gift relationship？There may be certain difficulties in determining the scale of such behavior。

Researcher at the International Institute of Green Finance at Central University of Finance and Economics、Ren Guozheng, director of the Health Finance Laboratory, told Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client，From the perspective of tourism finance，The duty-free shopping policy is conducive to attracting tourists to come to Hainan for shopping，Reduce shopping costs，At the same time，Can stimulate consumption during the epidemic，Expand 188bet online sports betting domestic demand。But the benefits brought by the duty-free shopping policy to Hainan need a long-term process，For example, some tourists travel not only for shopping needs，Return to local history、Culture、terroir、There are various needs for favors and entertainment。With the development of the times，Hainan can try to learn from horse racing in Hong Kong and Macao、Finance、Gaming industry and other related models，Further liberalize the policy，It may further stimulate the potential vitality and sustainability of the Hainan Free Trade Zone。
