IV. Tax rebates:

The rebate policy may also apply to water, electricity and gas payments, if they are involved in production.
V. Tips for speedier customs handling:
Be certain to handle customs procedures in proper customs offices with jurisdiction over the center
Any goods for the domestic market are the same as imported goods, so import approval is needed from customs.
Any domestic goods at the center are treated as export goods and require export approval from customs.
If companies transfer goods stored at the center to another location, they need to go through the customs office that has jurisdiction over the center.
The only export quotas that can be imposed on imported and exported goods are those covered by international treaties signed by China or relevant regulations from foreign countries.
If goods in the center are transferred to other bonded areas, they are treated as dutiable.
