Free Zones Program

The Free Zones continue to offer companies the same legal framework, showing the commitment of the institution that regulates the sector and the country.

The free zone regime in the Dominican Republic is regulated by Law 8-90 on free export zones, and the application of its regulations.

In addition to the economic and fiscal incentives granted by Law 8-90, the country has political stability and one of the strongest investment climates in the region, preferential access to markets through free trade agreements signed with our main trading partners, such as the United States and the countries of the European Union.

Likewise, the free zone regime goes beyond tax exemptions.  The sector has a sectorized minimum wage; exclusive and simplified customs procedures through the Customs Subdirectorate for Free Zones, as well as a special program run by the Professional Technical Training Institute (INFOTEP) that provides assistance for the implementation of training projects.
