On March 11, the "zero tariff" policy for imported goods consumed by residents on Hainan Island has been in place for a month. According to Haikou Customs, since the implementation of the policy, 28,000 people have purchased imported goods with zero tariffs, amounting to 5.3731 million yuan. In the duty-free store of Zhuhai in Sanya City, products like chocolate from Germany, milk powder from Switzerland, and cherries from Australia, which used to only be available through island duty-free shopping or cross-border shopping, are now neatly displayed in local shopping malls for residents to purchase. "There are more and more types of products available. Last time I bought imported milk powder and diapers for my child, and this time I saw the shampoo that I've been wanting to buy. I no longer have to wait for online delivery, the price is affordable, and the quality is more reliable," said Liu, a resident of Sanya, who is shopping for hair care products.
