The free zone lets you store and re-export goods without paying local duty. It is ideal for regional distributors.
Canal routing
Panama sits on the main route between Asia and the US East Coast, so shipping options are plentiful.
USD pricing
Business is done in US dollars, which keeps supplier payments simple.
