On December 18, 2025, the Hainan Free Trade Port officially launched its full island customs closure operation, ushering in a historic new era of transformative development. With premium headhunting services, SunTzu Recruit has become the preferred partner for professional talents and corporate recruiters in Hainan. As one of the island’s leading executive search firms, we remain dedicated to matching employers with top-tier candidates, maximizing recruitment success for both parties.

Post-closure, Hainan Free Trade Port’s policy benefits are being fully unleashed, creating unprecedented opportunities for talent and enterprises:

Enhanced Trade & Investment Facilitation — Zero-tariff coverage has expanded from 1,900+ to 6,637 product categories (74% of total tariff lines). The vast majority of production equipment, raw materials, and components now enjoy tariff-free importation. The value-added processing exemption policy (for goods with >30% local value addition) continues optimization, with first-round beneficiaries spanning pharmaceuticals, food processing, and petrochemicals.

Expanded Preferential Tax Rates — The 15% corporate income tax incentive now covers 1,100+ encouraged industries, including biomedicine and offshore wind power. The 15% personal income tax policy applies across all sectors. New overseas investment income from tourism, modern services, and high-tech industries is exempt from corporate income tax.

New Industry Frontiers — China’s most liberal bonded maintenance policy is now operational, adding 38 product categories. High-end medical equipment and aircraft component bonded maintenance services are running, enabling companies to establish Southeast Asia/global after-sales service centers.

Hainan is accelerating development of a modern industrial system anchored by its “Three Zones and One Center” strategic positioning, focusing on four pillar industries—tourism, modern services, high-tech industries, and tropical high-efficiency agriculture—while cultivating three future industries: Nanfan seed breeding, deep-sea technology, and commercial aerospace, establishing itself as a key hub for new productive forces.

As Hainan’s premier talent solutions provider, SunTzu Recruit bridges the gap between job seekers and employers. We facilitate successful matches, from consulting global firms on China recruitment strategies to securing optimal cultural fits for top candidates, supporting Free Trade Port talent acquisition.
