A newly established duty-free shop at Yiwu Airport officially opened to the public on Dec 1, local media outlets reported.

It was the fourth duty-free shop to open in an airport in East China's Zhejiang province. The previous three duty-free airport shops are located in Hangzhou, Wenzhou, and Ningbo.

The 150-square-meter Yiwu shop mainly sells perfume, alcoholic drinks, and cosmetics to the airport's border-exit passengers. The products include over 200 items from more than 40 brands in five categories.

Products sold at duty-free shops are exempt from tariffs, import-related value-added taxes, and consumption taxes.

The shop is operated by China Duty Free Yiwu Duty Free Co Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Duty Free Group Co Ltd.

Passengers departing from Yiwu Airport can make purchases at the shop with their boarding passes and valid exit documents. The shop also has a WeChat mini-program.

Yiwu is a county-level city often dubbed "the world's supermarket" as it is home to the world's largest wholesale market for small commodities.
