While there is no precise definition of what constitutes a foreign trade zone (FTZ), the term generally refers to a specific location within a country that is officially designated for eligibility for tariff and tax exemptions with respect to the purchase or importation of raw materials, components or finished goods.

The purpose of these zones is to increase trade, increase investment, create jobs, and effective administration. For China these zones lie in Shenzhen, Xiamen, Shantou, and Zhuhai.
