NEA260864-Business Mission to Haikou, Hainan
Overview
The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) is organising a proposed Business Mission to Haikou, Hainan, in conjunction with the 6th China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) — China’s only national-level exhibition dedicated to consumer goods.
Hainan is positioned as China’s Free Trade Port, with island-wide independent customs operations and a suite of incentives for foreign enterprises. These include preferential tax treatment, tariff exemptions on eligible imports, and streamlined customs clearance arrangements. Foreign-invested enterprises in Hainan also benefit from liberalised market access under a negative list framework, enhanced cross-border capital flow facilitation, and greater flexibility in talent recruitment, including personal income tax concessions for high-end and urgently needed professionals.
This mission aims to provide participating companies with first-hand insights into Hainan’s policy landscape, engagement with key government agencies, and exposure to potential business partners through CICPE.
新加坡工商联合总会(Singapore Business Federation,SBF)将组织企业代表团赴海南海口开展商务考察,并参与中国国际消费品博览会(CICPE)相关展览及交流活动。
作为中国唯一国家级消费主题展会,CICPE 为国际企业对接中国市场提供了高效的平台。依托中国自由贸易港政策优势,海南正通过税收优惠、关税减免和高效通关安排,打造国际企业进入中国市场的重要门户,并配套更开放的市场准入、跨境资金便利化及灵活的人才政策,为企业落地与业务拓展创造良好条件。
本次考察团将探索海南政策解读、资源对接与商务机会发掘,通过与政府机构、重点产业伙伴及 CICPE 参展企业的交流,协助企业探索在海南及中国市场的合作与发展机遇。
