Free Economic Zones

6 FZ in Moldova

Moldova's Free Zones (FZ) serve as excellent platforms for export-oriented manufacturing companies seeking to take advantage of preferential customs and tax regimes. These zones offer several benefits, including:

  • Exemption from Customs Duties: Companies that only import and export, without selling on the local market, are not required to pay customs duties on imported goods and materials.
  • Simplified Customs Procedures: The FZ provide streamlined customs procedures, enhancing operational efficiency for businesses.
  • Expedited Construction Process: Companies building production facilities within the FZ can benefit from a faster construction process, bypassing certain building requirements.

Strategically situated near borders or in major cities, these zones boast robust infrastructure and access to essential utilities. Their proximity to key transport infrastructure—such as roads, railways, and ports—further enhances their appeal as logistical hubs. Allowed activities within the FZ include storage, packaging, transportation, logistics, and utilities, supporting a wide range of business operations.
