As the business environment is becoming increasingly globalized and liberalized, the government of Taiwan has actively developed the Free Economic Pilot Zones (FEPZs) with simplifying custom regulations to smooth its trade flow and eliminate its unnecessary investment restrictions. The Kaohsiung port is the most important port in Taiwan which has huge hinterland and resource accumulation. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the degree of importance and performance of the FEPZs in the Kaohsiung port from ocean freight forwarders, perspectives. This study is carried out through a questionnaire survey and has employed the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) technique. The empirical results show that of the 28 factors effecting ocean freight forwarders, ability to logistic operation services, 16 of the factors are located in the “Keep up the Good Work" quadrant. Two of these 28 factors are located in the “Concentrate Here" quadrant; another 8 of the factors are located in the “Low Priority" quadrant. Finally one of the 28 factors is situated in the “Overkill" quadrant. The factor situated in the “Overkill" quadrant is called `the overall economic conditions and economics growth' .
