保税区是以国际自由贸易区为模式的一种开放形式,世界发达国家都把创设类似保税区的自由贸易区作为分享全球自由贸易利益,提升国际竞争力所普遍采用的有效手段。保税区在开放外资贸易公司、拓展物流分拨业务、加快货物通关速度等方面,都较好地发挥了“入世”先行试点的窗口和基地作用。 Free Trade Zone is an open form based on International Free Trade Area. All the developed countries in the world regard the free trade zone that created similar free trade zone as an effective means to share the benefits of global free trade and enhance their international competitiveness. In terms of opening up foreign-funded trading companies, expanding logistics distribution business and speeding up the clearance of goods, the bonded zone has played a good role as the window and base for the pilot project of “joining the WTO.”
