The second is to increase some household medical devices, and add vision trainers, hearing AIDS, orthopedic fixtures and household respiratory support equipment (non-life support) to the list of duty-free goods on outlying islands. Each person is limited to two pieces at a time.
Extended data
In the past, the accumulated shopping quota and the limit of single purchase times in Guizhou limited consumption to varying degrees. 90% of the respondents believe that the purchase restriction policy for residents and tourists on and off the island should be relaxed.
The staff of the duty-free center introduced that taking cosmetics as an example, the unit price of cosmetics is low. If tourists buy cosmetics alone, they will basically not exceed the limit, but at the same time they will be limited by the number of single purchases 12, which is often difficult to meet the needs of consumers. In addition, the duty-free limit for single items is too low.
38% consumers think that the lower duty-free quota for single items affects shopping and have to give up buying some goods with higher unit price. According to the survey, 86% of the products with the highest unit price do not exceed 8,000 yuan, and only three people buy single products with a unit price exceeding16,000 yuan at a time.
