On December 18, the Hainan Free Trade Port officially launched an island-wide customs closure. What impact will the border closure have on ordinary people? Will milk powder, cosmetics, electronic products and other products in Hainan duty-free stores be cheaper? On the first day of the customs closure, reporters from Jimu News came to the Hailv Duty Free City in Sanya City, Hainan Province.
At about 10 a.m. on the 18th, a Jimu News reporter saw consumers lining up to buy Apple products at a store selling Apple products in the Hailv Duty Free City. The duty-free price of the iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB version is 9,299 yuan. The reporter checked the Apple flagship store on an e-commerce platform and found that the price of this version is 9,999 yuan. The price difference between the two is 700 yuan.
The duty-free price of the iPhone 17pro 256GB version is 8,299 yuan, and the same model is priced at 8,999 yuan at the Apple flagship store on the e-commerce platform, which is also a difference of 700 yuan.
Compared with the iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 pro models, the iPhone 17 offers a relatively small discount. The duty-free price of the iPhone 17 256GB version is 5,579 yuan, and the same model is priced at 5,999 yuan at the Apple flagship store on the e-commerce platform, with a price difference of 420 yuan.
The store staff said that currently tax-free Apple products cannot use state subsidies, but they can be superimposed with government tax-free consumption coupons. Taking the iPhone 17 pro 256GB version as an example, you can receive a 300 yuan discount coupon for purchases over 6,000 yuan. The tax-free price is combined with the tax-free consumption coupon, and the final price can reach 7,999 yuan, which is a savings of 1,000 yuan compared to buying it at the flagship store of the e-commerce platform.
If we take the most expensive iPhone 17 pro Max 2TB version as an example, its tax-free price is 16,859 yuan, with a 1,000 yuan discount coupon for spending 15,000 yuan or more, the final price is 15,859 yuan, which is 2,140 yuan cheaper than the official website price.
