4．Special trade zone
　　Special trade zone，also called bonded area or free trade area．It is an area whereforeign goods may be held or processed and then re-exported without incurring duties．The zones can be found at maj or ports of entry and also at inland locations near maj orproduction facilities．
　　Special trade zones are designed to exclude the impact of duties．This is done byexempting（使免除）merchandise in the special trade zone from duty payment．Theinternational firm can therefore import merchandise，store it in the special trade zone，andprocess，alter，test，or demonstrate it—without paying duties．If the merchandise issubsequently shipped abroad（that is re—exported），no duty payments are ever due（应支付的）．Duty payments become due only if the merchandise is shipped into the country from thespecial trade zone．
　　The advantages of the existence of trade zones can be quite useful to the internationalfirm．For example，in particular country，the benefits derived（得到）from lower labor costsmay be offset（抵消）by high duties and tariffs．As a result，location of manufacturing and
　　storage facilities in that country may prove uneconomical．
　　Trade zones can also be useful as transshipment points to reduce logistics（物流）cost andredesign marketing approaches．For example，an American company was shipping smallquantities of car alarms from a China’S Taiwanese contract manufacturer directly todistributors in Chile．The shipments were costly and the marketing strategy of requiring highminimum orders stopped distributors from buying．The firm resolved the dilemma（困境）byusing a Miami trade zone to ship the alarms from China’S Taiwan and consolidate（合并）thegoods with other shipments to Chile．The savings in freight costs allowed the Chileandistributors to order whatever quantity they wanted and allowed the company to quote lowerprices．As a result，sales improved markedly（显著地）．
