A special economic zone (SEZ) is a government-defined area in which business and trade laws are different. SEZs are located within a country's national borders, and their aims include increased trade balance, employment, increased investment, job creation and effective administration. (See:  Special Economic Zone)

SEZs are mapped as an area with the tag boundary=special_economic_zone. In addition, the law defining the SEZ can be tagged with related_law=*.

Note that SEZs are different from Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs), which are currently mapped with the existing tag boundary=maritime.
