Shenzhen possesses three bonded zones and one bonded logistics park. The three bonded zones are Futian Bonded Zone, Shatoujiao Bonded Zone, and Yantian Port Bonded Zone, where the protective tariff system is implemented, including various preferential policies and operation convenience in respect of customs administration, foreign exchange management and taxation. They are multi-functional special economic regions integrating production & processing, logistics & warehousing, trade, R&D, and exhibition. The only bonded logistics park is Yantian Port Bonded Logistics Park, where the "park-port associated action" policy is implemented, and in addition to various preferential policies for bonded zones, it also enjoys the favorable "drawback of export duties" policy.
