Wasn't it predicted that Sanya Duty Free Shop would make big moves before? Finally halfway down. The tax exemption limit for offshore islands has been increased to 100,000 and the quality has been increased.
Next, there will be big moves. The earliest time point is 618, but I estimate that the system integration will not be completed in time. It is estimated that it will have to wait until the end of June .
The large account cannot spread unconfirmed news, but the small account has relatively no taboos, so after a while the small account will publish an article first in the form of a prediction.
It will definitely be a big plus. If there are good hotels in Sanya, I will hurry up and stock up. After the big move is announced, it is estimated that there will be a lot more people going to Sanya.
On March 22, the Hainan Provincial Government announced a 150 million yuan tourism revitalization plan centered on the duty-free shopping industry. It is conceivable that the scale of Hainan Duty-free City will become larger and larger in the future, and the variety of goods There will be more and more.
Japan and South Korea cannot leave this year, and Hong Kong has been making trouble. It is the right time and the right place to vigorously support Hainan. At the same time, it is also the best opportunity to bring back the previous demand for shopping in Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong back to China.
This money will make you happy, and it can also revitalize the tourism economy of Hainan Island.
Today’s article, will first talk about the strategy of Sanya Duty Free Shop.
The Sanya Duty Free Shop in Haitang Bay is actually called Sanya International Duty Free City. It is really huge, with a commercial area of more than 70,000 square meters. There are also many internationally renowned brands, more than 300 of them.
When going to Sanya, always plan to take half a day to visit the duty-free shop.
Sanya International Duty Free City has a symmetrical layout from left to right.
Area A (on the right side of the door, mainly cosmetics/skin care/big brand luxury goods)
First floor: Dior, Estee Lauder, Lancôme, Chanel and other first-line fragrance brands, international boutiques, coffee/banks;

Third floor: catering/water bar

Things you must do before going to duty-free shops
1) Register as a CDF member in advance and you can use membership points for deductions
You can register as a member by following "CDF Islands Duty Free" on WeChat, or downloading the "Island Duty Free Shop App".
30 yuan earns 1 point, and 1 point = 1 yuan. The next purchase can be directly used to redeem 1 times the points for ordinary members, 1.2 times for silver cards, 1.5 times for gold cards, and 2 times for platinum cards.
Because of the previous promotion between Fliggy and China Duty Free, I directly matched China Duty Free’s platinum card through Fliggy’s F3 (this activity is no longer available), so I directly became the highest level member of China Duty Free.
After getting 2 times the points bonus, I felt so happy buying and selling. I bought a bracelet for my wife and got 888 points (888 yuan) back, which is equivalent to a 3.8% return on my life, which is pretty good.
2) Pay attention to existing activities
You can see the full discounts of major brands on the "Island Duty Free Shop App" in advance, so check it out before going.
Basically, 15% off for 3 pieces, 20% off for 5 pieces (such as SK2, and even higher discounts), and 25% off for 3 pieces from some brands (such as the previous Estee Lauder).
You can also get unlimited coupons on the Alipay Hainan Health Code page, 50 each for skin care products/luxury goods, that is, 50 yuan fragrance coupons, and 50 yuan boutique coupons, which can be used at the same time as points.
3) Find out if there is a discount for staying at the hotel
Some five-star hotels offer a 50% discount (such as the Westin). You can ask the front desk one day in advance to apply, but it only applies to non-discounted goods below 8,000 yuan, which means it is not shared with full discounts.
So, ask the hotel where you are staying in advance before going, there may be discounts.
4) Understand the purchase restriction policy in advance
The maximum tax exemption for offshore islands is 30,000 yuan per person per year.
Duty-free amount - within each calendar year, for goods with a unit price of less than RMB 8,000, the annual cumulative purchase amount does not exceed RMB 30,000, with no limit on the number of times in a year;
For products with a unit price of more than 8,000 yuan, each person is limited to purchasing 1 piece at a time, and the purchase limit is 2 pieces per year. And after deducting the unused tax exemption, pay the import tax on inbound items (personal postal tax, the maximum tax deduction limit is 8,000 yuan).
These limits are only applicable to adults over 16 years old. Taking your baby with you will not increase your tax-free limit.
The type and quantity of duty-free goods purchased cannot exceed:
Within 12 items: cosmetics, candies;
Within 8 items: perfume, health food (total weight does not exceed 3kg), royal jelly preparations (total weight does not exceed 1kg), diapers, household hardware;
Within 6 items: jewelry, pens, watches, clothing, small leather goods, toys (including strollers), sporting goods, coffee (total weight not exceeding 3kg), ginseng products (<3kg), cereals (<6kg), olives Oil (<5kg), household air purifier accessories;
Within 4 items: bags, belts, shoes and hats, silk scarves, glasses (including sunglasses), ties, beauty and health care equipment, tableware and kitchen supplies, handicrafts, woolen fabrics, cotton fabrics, infant formula and complementary foods (<5kg), glass products , porcelain products;
Within 2 pieces: Home air purifier
5) If you don’t have time to go to the duty-free shop, you can place an order online and then pick up the goods at the port (airport, train station, port)
There will be more inventory online, and it is easy to run out of stock offline. However, there are usually free gifts and other gifts offline, but there are generally not online.
It can be operated on the official website or the outlying island duty-free shop app.
Things you should know after arriving at the duty-free shop
1) For fragrance products try to choose a set . The set only occupies the quota of one piece and is more favorable than single products.
2) It is not recommended to buy goods with a unit price of more than 8,000 yuan . The tax-free quota is easy to use up, and it is not much cheaper (the tax-free quota is only 8,000 yuan, and you still need to pay taxes on the excess).
3) It is recommended to first buy bags, clothes, watches, etc. which are relatively expensive . Firstly, it is easy to calculate how much you can spend within the limit. Secondly, the more expensive products have more points. Small amount of products can be deducted later.
4) It is recommended to pick up the goods at the airport. A deposit is required for in-store pickup.
Haikou - complete shopping at least one day before flight departure;
Sanya - Complete shopping at least 6 hours before flight departure. Online shopping mall shopping, time limit is the same as above
Pay in store, pick up at the airport.
After payment, you will get a duty-free shop pick-up note, and you can pick up the goods at the airport duty-free shop with the pick-up note, ID card and boarding pass. It is recommended to pick up your order 60 minutes before boarding.
What is worth buying at Sanya Duty Free Shop?
What is worth buying in Sanya International Duty Free City is products priced within 8,000 per customer, which are generally about 20-35% cheaper than the domestic taxed market . For items with a unit price of more than 8,000, since only 8,000 tax can be exempted, the price is actually limited.
The discounts on cosmetics on the first floor of Area A are relatively large, and because of the quantity, it is recommended to buy more sets.
When I went shopping a few days ago, Lamer offered a 20% discount on 3 pieces, and extra gifts for purchases over 15,000; SK2 received an additional 7-piece set worth more than 800 for an actual payment of 5,500 or more...
It is more appropriate to combine it with activities.
After returning from Hainan, I can actually enjoy shopping.
Many people really don't know this.
In CDF Outlying Island Repurchase Mall, you can purchase again within 180 days after returning from the island. It will be delivered directly to your home, and there is no purchase limit. There are still discounts, but points cannot be used.
Although the number is not limited, the total amount is only 30,000. In addition, the products in outlying island repurchase malls are much smaller than those in offline duty-free stores, and they are often out of stock.
Outlying Islands Repurchase Online Mall Address:
In addition,the closest hotel to the duty-free shop is the Westin, which is literally within walking distance.
It’s not far from the Haitang Bay hotel to take a taxi to the duty-free shop, but other bays are more troublesome. Many hotels used to have shuttle buses, but they have mostly been canceled due to the epidemic, so it’s better to take a taxi.
Finally, a PM (product manager) student who is planning to recruit more people with China Duty Free Group in June asked me to do some research.
What is the big deal you hope for in duty-free shops?
Estee Lauder 40% off three pieces, EL small brown bottle reduced to 200➕? Or let China Free Trade Center open a store on Tmall and buy online? Send it home directly?
Anyone with a discerning eye should have guessed a lot, right?
