Taiwan has begun designating free trade zones, and currently has 6 sea port free trade zones and one air port free trade zone. Free trade zones allow 19 varied services, including trading, warehousing, logistics, container distribution, transshipment, transfer, contracted transport, customs clearance services, assembly, consolidation, packaging, repair, fitting, processing, manufacturing, inspection, testing, exhibition, and technical services. Firms can operate in free trade zones in the form of subsidiaries, offices, or operating departments. When foreign cargo enters or is stored in a free-trade zone, and when cargo is exported overseas from a free-trade zone or transferred to another free-trade zone, only a report must be made, and the movement is exempt from review and inspection. Firms in free-trade zones may engage in a wide range of businesses, such as LME non-ferrous metals storage and transit, sea-air intermodal transport, cross-border e-commerce, and overseas warehousing and distribution. Taiwan can take advantage of the benefits of its free trade zones to attract cargo bound for transfer and induce firms to establish distribution centers in Taiwan. Firms can also employ a "store in front, factory behind" operating model to engage in collaboration with firms outside the free trade zone, which will serve to diffuse free trade zones' advantages to other others. Successful win-win "store in front, factory behind" business models can achieve the goal of diversified operation and facilitate expansion.
