Zona Franca Customs

Photography Customs Free Zone

Zona Franca Customs of Barcelona (ZFC) has been a strategic and distinct enclave of the business since its creation. The institution provides a service to companies with international trade relations which want to take advantage of the competitive advantages of their tax situation.

In general, free zones are EU customs areas, separated from the rest of the territory, which receive all kinds of freight. While they are governed by the special regime (for which there is no time limit) they are not subject to import duties, internal taxes (VAT or other duties) or trade policy measures.

The size of the ZFC, its activity and excellent location, next to the port, the airport, the railway freight terminus and the road network, make it a privileged logistical area. Security is ensured by a service coordinated between the Guardia Civil and private security, which operates 24/7/365.
