FTZs adopt a level of autonomic management and loose administrative controls in order to create niches. There are the following preferential measures and systems provided in FTZs:

 

Inside the Border but Outside of Customs

Goods shall be exempted from relevant duties and taxes and free from the import restrictions set forth in other acts, regulations or orders.

Offering tax preferential:

  • Goods to be transported overseas into a free trade zone by a free-trade-zone enterprise for its operations (including those used to provide warehousing, logistics, assembly and reassembly services to other enterprises) shall be exempted from customs duty, commodity tax, business tax, tobacco and wine tax, public health and welfare dues on tobacco products, trade promotion service fees, and harbor service dues.
