MOFCOM, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and CUSTOMS jointly issued a notice introducing measures to deepen trade liberalization and facilitation at the Hainan Free Trade Port. The notice backs consolidation of bonded and export-supervision warehouses for gasoline, kerosene, diesel, fuel oil and naphtha in the Yangpu Economic Development Zone under a supervisory model of two-category storage capacity, total-volume approval, classified allocation and dynamic use. It launches a pilot allowing imports of defective critical auto components for R&D and testing in Hainan FTP. Contingent on the launch of LNG futures, it supports Hainan FTP carrying LNG futures delivery-warehouse business, allows bonded delivery by energy measurement and permits foreign firms to use bonded facilities at Hainan LNG receiving terminals. The notice also permits an orderly rollout of new-type barter trade in the Hainan FTP and encourages RMB pricing for such transactions.
