Q: What is the product traceability code?

A: The product traceability code is the unique identifier for duty-free goods sold on Hainan Island, including the lettering "Hainan Duty-Free Goods Traceability Code", an anti-counterfeiting QR code, Hainan duty-free logo and a warning that says "Customs duty not paid, resale prohibited". The product traceability code is affixed to the smallest packaging unit of duty-free goods, implementing a "one product, one code" system. Customs, market supervision and other law enforcement officers can scan the product traceability code to access information about the product, its sales and collection, allowing them to clearly understand who sold the duty-free goods, who purchased them, and whether they have been collected. If duty-free goods are resold, law enforcement agencies can promptly detect this and use the information system to trace the origin, ensuring that Hainan’s duty-free shopping policy truly benefits tourists to Hainan and that the original intention of promoting consumption is realized.
