In the city of Qingdao, foreign trade is an integral part of the economy and is encouraged wherever possible on the principle of the free flow of import and export goods and technology. The export of machinery and electrical products, development of processing trades, service trades, and overseas processing trades are encouraged as are the import of advanced technology and equipment through foreign businesses.

The city of Qingdao has implemented a series of preferential policies for foreign investors.

If the contracted operating period is not less than 5 years, upon reinvestment, the foreign party will receive a tax refund of up to 40% of paid income tax on the reinvested portion. If funds are reinvested directly into the establishment or expansion of export-oriented enterprises or advanced technological enterprises, the income tax paid on the reinvested portion will be completely refunded.
