Only travellers who are 18 or older will avoid paying import duties, and the mainland visitors to Hainan can only buy goods duty free at the shop twice a year, while island residents can only once a year. Permission to buy goods duty-free in Hainan had been extended to foreign and non-mainland travelers before, but never to mainland visitors.

About 18,000 people enter the tax-free shop in Sanya every day since April 20, when the trail operation of the tax rebate scheme starts.
