How many bonded areas are there in China? What does bonded area mean? What service does it provide? Don't answer if you don't understand. thank you

The state approved the establishment of 15 bonded zones: Waigaoqiao Bonded Zone, Tianjin Port Bonded Zone, Shenzhen Shatou Bonded Zone, Shenzhen Futian Bonded Zone, Dalian Bonded Zone, Guangzhou Bonded Zone, Zhangjiagang Bonded Zone, Haikou Bonded Zone, Xiamen Xiangyu Bonded Zone, Fuzhou Bonded Zone, Ningbo Bonded Zone, Qingdao Bonded Zone, Shantou Bonded Zone, Shenzhen Yantian Bonded Zone and Zhuhai Bonded Zone.

Bonded area is a new thing in the process of China's reform and development, and it is an economic open area formed on the basis of combining China's national conditions and the practice of the world free trade zone. In this region, goods imported from abroad are regarded as overseas in terms of tariffs and other tariffs, and are exempt from customs supervision, and special tariffs and preferential policies are given to this region.

As the first cultural bonded zone in China, Beijing Cultural Bonded Zone, the national foreign cultural trade base, has been the focus of attention of the industry since its landing. It is the first cultural bonded zone relying on the airport in China, with a planned land area of 235.3 mu and a total investment of 5 billion yuan. It is expected to be completed on 20 16. It is understood that at present, the service supporting system in the area has been completed, and the investment promotion of settled enterprises will also be fully launched.

For most small and medium-sized cultural companies, in the past, when handling customs clearance abroad, they generally relied on specialized customs declaration and logistics companies. The bonded area is undoubtedly mysterious to them. What kind of special services can it bring to the cultural industry, and what kind of power will it promote the cultural import and export trade in the future? The reporter recently interviewed Wang Yudong, general manager of Beijing Gehua Art Trading Center, who is responsible for the construction and operation of the bonded area.

Referring to the industrial background of Beijing Cultural Bonded Zone (hereinafter referred to as "Bonded Zone"), Wang Yudong said that the full name of the Bonded Zone is Beijing International Cultural Trade Service Center, a "Cultural Bonded Zone" established in the form of a garden by Beijing Gehua Cultural Development Group in cooperation with the management committee of Beijing Tianzhu Comprehensive Bonded Zone, and was awarded the "National Foreign Cultural Trade Base" by the Ministry of Culture.

The State Council and national ministries and commissions are promoting the import and export of culture. From the aspects of art trading, film and television co-production, etc., cultural foreign activities and trade are becoming more and more frequent, which has given birth to such a service area.

The problem of "tax rate" in the bonded area, which most people are concerned about, is only a link of logistics service in the bonded area. Wang Yudong said that the full function of the bonded zone is to provide all-round port services for cultural import and export, and it is a special service for cultural products, copyrights and trade processes.

Wang Yudong explained that in the study of cultural foreign trade by Gehua Group, they found three characteristics of cultural industry: First, the products are special. Taking customs clearance as an example, cultural products are subject to "piece-by-piece examination and approval" according to state regulations. Cultural copyright transactions are also very complicated. Domestic companies claim to have bought the copyright of Hollywood in the United States for 1 10,000 yuan. Is this a real deal or a false price? Customs can't judge the price of these cultural products by tens of thousands of customs clearance a day.
