TRIESTE, ITALY - The history of the city of Trieste is entirely linked with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which established special privileges to improve changes in traffics and demands of trade by creating a Free Port Zone.

Nowadays, the Trieste Free Port Zones enjoy the legal status of custom clearance exemption, which, undoubtedly, represents the biggest difference between the local regulations and those at European level.

The most well-known service is linked to the traffic that generates about one third of the total trade between Europe and Turkey through the Port of Trieste getting, finally, to Central and Eastern Europe. In fact Turkey has established a strategic relationship with the Port of Trieste, leading to the creation and development of what is now called the Mediterranean's most crowded 'Sea Highway', which includes: 

• 14 sailings per week
• 250,000 heavy vehicles handled per year
• 52 - 65 hours transit time
• 24/7 operations
• 24/7 custom formalities

One of the main focuses of WTC Trieste is promoting international trade and helping companies from abroad, but also local enterprises, to expand their business in Europe gathering all the benefits offered by the Custom Free Port of trieste, granting the free and limitless transit of goods.
