Chapter 1: Definition and Functions of Bonded Zones
Bonded zones are specially designated economic trade areas with unique management measures and isolation facilities, primarily facilitating the flow of goods between domestic and international markets. Within these zones, goods can move freely in and out from overseas, benefiting from duty-free policies and exemption from import-related taxes. These areas operate without routine customs supervision or licensing requirements, except for goods subject to national export restrictions or special regulations.
Chapter 2: Management Policies of Bonded Zones
As state-approved economic regions, bonded zones fall under special customs supervision. Foreign goods entering bonded zones receive bonded status treatment, while domestic goods from other regions are considered exported. These zones enjoy preferential foreign trade and foreign exchange policies, reflecting their significant role in national economic development.
Chapter 3: Primary Functions of Bonded Zones
Bonded zones serve multiple functions including bonded warehousing, export processing, and entrepot trade. Their comprehensive features encompass commodity display and international trade activities. The unique "license-free, duty-free, and bonded" policies make these zones among the most open and operationally efficient economic areas in terms of national openness to international markets.
Chapter 4: Definition and Functions of Logistics Zones
International logistics zones focus on integrating warehousing, distribution, processing, and multimodal transport functions. These areas specialize in preparing goods for domestic and international markets, commodity distribution, cargo consolidation, and container transshipment, providing efficient support for economic activities.
