FTZ connected with WTC Trieste

The Port of Trieste operates under a special Customs Free Port regime, establishing itself as a leading example of an effective Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in the EU. This regime provides significant competitive advantages over standard national ports and other EU free zones in administrative, financial, and operational areas. One key benefit is that goods can maintain foreign status indefinitely without undergoing preliminary customs formalities, ensuring a liberalized transit regime and immediate economic savings. 

Additionally, the Port of Trieste offers substantial cash flow benefits by deferring import duties and VAT payments for up to 180 days. It also ensures high operational flexibility for industrial transformation, allowing some finished products to acquire the certification of Italian origin and offering potential exemption from excise duties on fuel and energy consumed for industrial activities with goods destined abroad. These unique legal features result in substantial cost and time savings for commercial operators.

WTC Trieste provides dedicated guidance and tailored support to international companies seeking to take full advantage of these strategic opportunities.
