Editor’s Note
This article highlights a key milestone in the Hainan Free Trade Port’s development—the first clearance of value-added jade products under its new customs regime. It underscores how core policies, like value-added processing, are translating into tangible economic activity, boosting both policy visibility and industrial growth.
Following the official launch of the island-wide customs closure operation in the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP), core policy dividends, represented by value-added processing, are accelerating their implementation and effectiveness, with the visibility of policies and their empowering effects on industries continuously increasing. On December 31, 2025, a batch of jade bracelets processed from imported Russian jade raw materials by Hainan Wuseguang Cultural Development Co., Ltd., a company located in Haikou Jiangdong New Area, successfully cleared customs at the “second-tier port” of Meilan Airport. This marks the first batch of jade products to be realized under the FTP’s value-added processing duty-free policy after the island-wide closure operation, signifying the successful transformation of policy dividends in the FTP’s jewelry processing sector into tangible industrial development outcomes.
It is reported that after the raw materials for this batch of jade bracelets arrived in Haikou by air, they underwent the entire processing workflow—including slicing, tubing, coring, and shaping—at the factory of Hainan Wuseguang Cultural Development Co., Ltd., before finally completing the customs clearance procedures at the second-tier port.
introduced a relevant person in charge of Hainan Wuseguang Cultural Development Co., Ltd. The industrial park is positioned as a specialized industrial cluster integrating international amber and beeswax trade, jade raw material trade, warehousing, processing and production, trading, exhibitions, design, cultural tourism, and inspection and appraisal, achieving full coverage from raw material import to finished product circulation.
Currently, the first phase of the industrial park has been completed, and efforts to attract upstream and downstream enterprises have commenced. The effects of a clustered and specialized industrial agglomeration are gradually becoming apparent. Hong Kong Yulinglong Group’s choice to establish roots in Hainan and lay out its plans in Jiangdong New Area is precisely due to its confidence in the park’s industrial platform advantages, development potential, the policy advantages of the FTP, and the locational advantage of being backed by the vast mainland Chinese market. The successful customs clearance of this first batch of value-added jade processing products is not only a vivid demonstration of the enhanced visibility of FTP policies but will also further attract domestic and international jewelry industry chain enterprises to gather in Hainan.
With the continuous construction and operation of carriers such as the Jiangdong New Area Amber and Jade Industrial Park, Hainan is accelerating the formation of a specialized jewelry industry cluster. This injects strong momentum into the high-quality development of the FTP’s consumer goods industry, driving the continuous transformation of policy dividends into industrial competitiveness and regional development advantages.
