Special regimes and free trade zones
We structure operations under inward processing, free trade zone, temporary admission and bonded warehousing.
Special regimes are the difference between paying duty today and never paying it. They suspend, defer or eliminate levies when goods are destined for export production, for temporary stay, or for re-export. Few companies use them because they do not know the procedure, not because they fail to qualify.

Frequent questions
What clients ask most
How much does an inward processing regime like Plan Vallejo save?
It lets you import inputs and capital goods with duties suspended or waived when they go into producing goods for export. The cost impact can exceed 20% of the input value.
Is a free trade zone worth it for small volumes?
Not always. The regime carries a fixed operating cost; we run the numbers on your case before recommending it.
