| | China on Thursday launched island-wide special customs operations in the Hainan Free Trade Port — the world’s largest by area, Xinhua reported. The Hainan customs zone will implement a “two-line” tariff system, which will exempt 74% of goods entering Hainan from abroad (via the “first line”) from import duties, value-added tax, and consumption tax. These goods may circulate freely within the province.
