  What is an import export zone?

  In Korea, in the 1980s, only companies with certain licenses were allowed to export and import through the first class trade registration system. This was a system to secure trust in overseas customers and to efficiently manage foreign exchange.
  
  Currently, even if China has a business registration card equivalent to the Korean business registration card, it is only possible to import and export imports and exports only after obtaining an import-export license.
  
  The agency system for import and export countries is an official system recognized by the Chinese government. It is not illegal at all, and when the importer does not have an exit permit, it is a system that allows the importer to clear the import and export licensed company, and the actual taxpayer to import under the name of the accidental party.
