2022 is a critical year for Hainan Free Trade Port to prepare for the initiation of independent customs operations. At the same time, the preparations for the island-wide independent customs operations process have been fully launched. The "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port" clarifies that the Hainan Free Trade Port implements the policy system of free trade facilitation of "opening the first line and controlling the second line". Since then, Hainan has promoted relevant pilot work:
1. Expand the scope of the pilot project. Hainan will gradually promote the expansion of the processing value-added policy to the whole island, introduce more processing and manufacturing projects, and promote the agglomeration and development of industries such as biomedicine and medical equipment, food processing, new energy and new materials, and high-end equipment manufacturing.
2. Remove the requirements of customs clearance form for imported drugs to further improve the level of facilitation of pharma customs clearance in Hainan.
3. Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the implementation of the "zero-tariff" commodity list to prepare for a new round of expansion work.
2022年是海南自贸港做好“封关”运作准备的关键之年，全岛“封关”运作准备工作全面启动。《海南自由贸易港建设总体方案》明确了海南自由贸易港实施“一线放开、二线管住”的贸易自由便利政策制度体系。此后，海南推进相关试点工作。一是试点扩围。海南将逐渐推动加工增值政策扩大到全岛实施，引进更多的加工制造项目，促进生物医药和医疗器械、食品加工、新能源新材料、高端装备制造等产业集聚发展。二是取消进口药品通关单。进一步提升海南药品通关便利化水平。三是正在就 “零关税”商品清单的实施情况进行全面评估，为新一轮扩围工作做好准备。
