Hainan's island-wide special customs operations explained in new guidebook

A State-owned publisher in Hainan recently released Chinese and English editions of Special Customs Operations in Hainan Free Trade Port: 100 Q&A, which was the subject of a symposium in Beijing on Saturday.

The publication arrives as the island-wide special customs operations are set to commence on Dec 18. With a collaboration of domestic and international presses, the guidebook serves as a practical handbook and international outreach for Hainan's new phase of integrated customs management.

The book's Q&A structure clarifies the policies and operational frameworks to create what organizers call a "window of understanding" for global observers and stakeholders.
