In the first five months of this year, the country's comprehensive bonded zone goods trade import and export increased by 27.1% year-on-year.

From the policy interpretation meeting held today on "Several Measures to Promote the Expansion and Improvement of Comprehensive Bonded Zones", it was learned that in the first 5 months of this year, the value of goods traded in China's bonded zones reached 3.5 trillion yuan, an increase of 27.1% year-on-year, accounting for 16.9% of the total value of import and export in the country. Bonded zones, covering an area of only five hundredths of the country's land area, contributed one-sixth of the country's foreign trade import and export value, and have become an important platform for serving the development of China's foreign trade. Currently, there are 174 customs special supervision areas in China, covering 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, including 168 comprehensive bonded zones, 4 bonded zones, 1 cross-border industrial zone, and 1 bonded port zone.
