As a highly open special economic zone, bonded zone has good policy function advantages. The state has endowed the bonded zone with four functions: international trade, port processing, logistics distribution and commodity exhibition. Domestic and foreign investors can set up all kinds of ownership enterprises in the bonded zone, which are widely engaged in international logistics, processing and manufacturing, international trade, scientific and technological research and development, commodity exhibition and sales and other industries. In terms of international logistics, international goods can enter and leave freely between the bonded area and overseas, and the storage time is not limited; 24-hour fast customs clearance is realized, and the inspection and quarantine is efficient and convenient; the port and airport are directly put into the bonded area, and the goods can be centralized into the bonded area, batch out of the bonded area, real-time distribution and centralized Customs declaration, which shortens the distance between the international market and the domestic market to the maximum extent and reduces the cost Transaction time consumption accelerates capital turnover, reduces transaction cost, and makes the bonded area a green channel for international goods to enter and leave. In terms of international trade, as the meeting point of the two markets, the free trade zone implements market access ahead of the domestic market and adopts a relatively loose trade policy. Enterprises registered in the free trade zone can carry out international trade business including import and export trade, re export trade and transit trade. In terms of processing and manufacturing, processing enterprises in the bonded zone use overseas machinery and equipment, infrastructure materials, office supplies, and raw materials and spare parts needed for processing export products, and do not levy tariff, value-added tax, and consumption tax, and do not implement quota and license management. When processing export products in the bonded area, enterprises do not set up deposit accounts or receive processing manuals; when products are sold in the bonded area, they are exempted from production value-added tax; when products with some overseas materials are sold in the bonded area, they only pay customs duties and value-added tax on overseas materials, making the bonded area the best area for processing, manufacturing and processing trade. In terms of exhibition and sales, international goods can directly enter the professional exhibition and sales market in the zone in the bonded state, and meet with domestic dealers and final consumers directly.

Tianjin Free Trade Zone has a good system advantage. As the agency of Tianjin Municipal People's government, the management committee implements unified administration over the bonded zone and enjoys the project approval authority at the provincial and municipal level. Tianjin Customs, entry-exit inspection and quarantine, foreign exchange management, state tax bureau, local tax bureau, public security, procuratorial, court, fire and other departments all have branches in the area. The management committee and the units stationed in the bonded area shall cooperate closely, adhere to the service concept of "enterprise first, service first, and efficiency first", and provide investors with good service of first inquiry responsibility and whole process agency, so as to make the bonded area a first-class open area with the best legal environment, the highest work efficiency, the lowest operating cost, the best service level, and in line with international practice.

As Tianjin Binhai New Area is included in the overall international development strategy, the bonded area, as an important economic functional area of Binhai New Area, also ushers in a historic opportunity to accelerate its development. The overall goal of the "Eleventh Five Year Plan" development of the bonded zone is to adhere to the scientific outlook on development, take the high-tech industry as the guide, take the advantage industry as the focus, take the modern service industry as the support, walk away from the open, technological, intensive and ecological way, and build the bonded zone into a high-level modern logistics symbol zone, and the airport processing zone and airport logistics zone into a high standard zone Zhunge is the core area of airport industry. Through five years of efforts, we will significantly enhance the regional comprehensive strength, service capacity, innovation capacity and international competitiveness. By 2010, the total economic volume will quadruple that of 2005, and the regional GDP will reach 50 billion yuan; the total industrial output value will exceed 80 billion yuan, and strive to achieve 100 billion yuan; the total logistics value will reach 58 billion US dollars; the fiscal revenue will exceed 10 billion yuan, and the comprehensive energy consumption of 10000 yuan GDP will reach 100 billion yuan In order to play a greater role in the economic revitalization of the Bohai Rim region, we should establish a first-class open region with distinctive industrial characteristics, prominent main functions and high degree of internationalization.
