Free trade zones
Unleash Your Business Potential with Calpine's Free Trade Zones
A Free Trade Zone is a designated geographic area within a country where industrial, service, or commercial activities are carried out under special regulations governing taxation, customs, and foreign trade. Goods entering these zones are considered outside the national customs territory for import and export tax purposes.
