Curaçao’s Free Zones are being regulated by the free zone law, and is one of the tools supporting the development of Curaçao as a Logistics and Distribution Center. These are fenced-in areas where goods can be stored, displayed, packed, manufactured, released from bond and where services, for example regional repair centers, may be rendered. Import, export and transit are completely duty-free and special tax incentives are provided to free zone companies. The activity must be focused on trading with or providing services to consumers and companies outside of Curaçao.
Curaçao has two such zones geared towards trading in goods and services: one, located adjacent to the international airport Hato and one at the harbor.
