Recently, in the cross-border e-commerce circle, the word "Hainan" has been hot.

Behind them are two clear lines of logic: on one side, the domestic tax environment continues to tighten, compliance costs are rising and profit margins are being squeezed. On the other side, Hainan's recent (December 18, 2025) island-wide customs closure has already taken place, and a new system of trade and taxation independent of the mainland is surfacing.

Between this push and pull, Hainan is from a geographical concept, evolving into a part of the seller's strategic layout of a worthy assessment of the "new coordinates".

For cross-border overseas enterprises, this also marks the development of the industry from relying solely on the "policy dividend", towards the "model innovation" driven by the deep transformation stage.

1) Reshaping the industrial landscape:

"With the further expansion of zero-tariff items and the full implementation of the policy of "low tariff and simple tax system", the import and export cost structure of enterprises will be fundamentally optimized. This change will not only benefit the import business, but also reduce the procurement cost of raw materials and components for export enterprises, and significantly enhance the international competitiveness of products.

2) Strategic hubs are established:

Bridging the Southeast Asian market "bridgehead" Hainan's unique geographical location, making it the core hub connecting China's mainland and the Southeast Asian market. In the customs sealing policy, Hainan will become a high-quality springboard for enterprises to enter Southeast Asia, radiation RCEP region, logistics turnover and capital circulation efficiency will realize a substantial increase.

3) Business model iteration:

From "single selling" to "full layout" the future competition in the cross-border field is not only at the product level, but also focuses on the supply chain layout of the competition. Enterprises need to take the initiative to think about how to rely on the special positioning of the Hainan Free Trade Port, phased planning and layout of logistics centers, settlement centers or operation centers, to achieve the optimal goal of compliance and efficiency enhancement of the double.

01 What is "Customs Closure"?

Simply put, customs closure refers to the establishment of the entire island of Hainan as a special area for customs supervision, and the implementation of the policy of "liberalization of the first line, control of the second line, and freedom within the island".

A line (between Hainan and abroad):Freer entry and exit of goods and people, such as faster customs clearance for imported goods;

Tier 2 (between Hainan and the mainland):Only some special goods need to be checked, ordinary people traveling to and from Hainan do not need additional documents, business trips, travel as usual;

Island Freedom:Within Hainan Island, the movement of goods, capital and people is more convenient.

02 Why December 18th?

The launch of the closure operation is scheduled for December 18, 2025, which is of great symbolic significance.

This was the very day that the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party was held in 1978, marking the beginning of China's reform and opening up.

The choice of the same date to launch Hainan's sealing operation is to demonstrate to the world China's unswerving determination and confidence in expanding high-level opening up.

2035: Institutional and operational models become more mature;

07 In-depth analysis of tax rates for Hainan companies

Talking about Hainan, of course, can not bypass the "low tax rate". It is reported that at present, one of the most recognizable policy labels of the Hainan Free Trade Port is the industry's recent talk of the"Two 15%":

1) Corporate income tax:A reduced levy of 151 TP3T is imposed on eligible businesses;

 2) Personal income tax:Qualified individuals will be exempted from personal tax to the extent that their effective tax burden exceeds 15% (equivalent to "effective tax burden capped at 15%"). This is in stark contrast to the mainstream tax rates in the Mainland (25% for corporate income tax and 45% for the highest marginal rate of personal tax).

For businesses:A clear "profit account". From the perspective of corporate income tax, the most intuitive reflection of this difference is still the book result.

Assuming a company's annual profit is 10 million yuan, it should pay about 2.5 million yuan of corporate income tax at the mainland's tax rate of 251 TP3T; whereas in Hainan, it would pay only about 1.5 million yuan at the rate of 151 TP3T. Between the two, a cash flow difference of about 1 million yuan can be formed in a single year. In the current cross-border e-commerce industry profit margins continue to be compressed in the context of such a gap is enough to trigger realistic considerations at the enterprise level.

For talent:An attractive "income card". At the level of personal income tax, Hainan's annual income of more than 300,000 yuan of high-end shortage of talents, the implementation of 3%, 10% and 15% of the three ultra-progressive tax rate, the highest tax rate is significantly lower than the mainland 45% marginal level.

Taking the same income as an example, if the top tax rate of 45% applies in the Mainland, only a capped tax liability of 15% may apply in Hainan, and the difference in after-tax income is more obvious. This is also an important reason why some companies will include management and core staff arrangements in the discussion when assessing Hainan.

If you look at Hainan's tax policy in the context of the overall domestic tax environment, its value is more at the level of risk and uncertainty management, which is a factor that needs to be considered by companies and individuals.
