Port of Buenos Aires relocates Paraguayan free zone to “facilitate foreign trade”

The Port of Buenos Aires has agreed to relocate a 10,700 sq m free zone that Paraguay has within the Argentine port’s jurisdiction, originally granted in 1997.

It will be relocated to a new area in the vicinity of Dock F so that “unlike what happened in previous year, it is operational and fulfils its objective to facilitate the foreign trade of the region,” noted a statement from the port authority.

The zone, which is used as a warehouse and distribution centre for imported merchandise, covers 10,700 sq m in the port’s South Zone.
