As the first Chinese mainland market offering tax-free small-scale transactions with Taiwan, the Dadeng Taiwan small commodity trading market has been at the forefront of cross-Strait exchanges for 26 years. With nearly six-billion-yuan-worth ($828 million) of Taiwan imports, hosting 80,000 Taiwan visitors, and a peak of 62 Taiwan businesses, it stands as a beacon of cross-Strait commerce.
Today, the Dadeng market has become the premier showcase for Taiwan goods on the Chinese mainland and the top choice for Taiwan small and medium-size enterprises looking to expand into the mainland market.
The Dadeng market enjoys duty-free treatment for small-scale trade with Taiwan, allowing the sale of Taiwan products in six main categories: food and cooking oils, agricultural and animal products, textiles and clothing, handicrafts, light industrial goods, and medicines.
