Covering a planning area of 2.86 square kilometers, the Shijiazhuang Comprehensive Bonded Zone is located to the east of Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport and lies in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area, adjacent to Beijing (200 kilometers), the Tianjin New Harbour (350 kilometers) and the Huanghua Harbour (300 kilometers). Surrounded by a convenient, comprehensive transport network of aviation, highways and high speed rail, the zone plays an important role in setting up a one-hour economic and living circle in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region.

Established on Sept 15, 2014 with approval from the State Council, the State-level zone passed its national acceptance inspection on April 28, 2016.

Relying on the Shijiazhuang Comprehensive Bonded Zone, the planning and construction of the Shijiazhuang Airport Industrial Park has a planning area of 124 sq km and enjoys all kinds of preferential policies for provincial development zones, providing supporting facilities for industries and living as well as interactive development between industries inside and outside of the park.   

Positioned as an international business logistics base and an industrial cooperation pilot area in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, the zone provides a platform for the commercialization of research findings in Beijing and Tianjin. Divided into five functional areas for port logistics, bonded logistics, bonded processing, bonded services and trade, the zone gives priority to developing high-end manufacturing, modern logistics, international trade and innovative services.

As a multifunctional bonded zone, the Shijiazhuang Comprehensive Bonded Zone is the most full-featured area, with special customs supervision. It also enjoys various preferential policies, as well as a national test and pilot area to open up its finance, trade, investment, services and transportation. 

In December 2017, the zone signed five projects with a total investment of four billion yuan ($576.3 million) involving general aviation, equipment manufacturing, medicine logistics, cross-border e-commerce and international trade. The estimated annual production value of the five signed projects is 2 billion yuan, bringing 20 billion yuan in output value for related industries.
