Location and logistics

Northern Dominican Republic, one mile from the DR-1 highway

Parque Industrial Zona Franca Navarrete is in Navarrete, Villa Bisonó municipality, Santiago province — the industrial heart of the Cibao region. The DR-1 highway links the park to the Puerto Plata seaport and to Santiago’s Cibao International Airport (STI); Manzanillo and Caucedo ports are also part of most tenants’ logistics plans.

Free zone regime · Law 8-90

Dominican Republic free zone incentives

PIZFN operates under the Dominican Republic’s free zone regime (Law 8-90), administered by the Consejo Nacional de Zonas Francas de Exportación (CNZFE). Companies established in the park under this regime may qualify for:

100% income tax exemption

Corporate income tax exemption on free-zone operations.

Duty-free imports

Exemption from import duties and tariffs on raw materials, machinery, equipment and construction materials used in the operation.

ITBIS (VAT) exemption

Exemption from ITBIS on qualifying purchases and imports.

No export taxes

Exemption from export and re-export taxes on products made in the zone.

Municipal and corporate exemptions

Exemption from municipal taxes and from taxes on company formation, capital increases and related real-estate transfers.

Renewable term and free repatriation

Benefits are granted for an initial term of 15 years, renewable, with free repatriation of profits.

Preferential market access

The Dominican Republic is a party to DR-CAFTA (United States and Central America) and to the CARIFORUM–EU Economic Partnership Agreement, giving qualifying exports preferential access to the U.S. and European markets.

Eligibility, scope and terms of the regime are determined by CNZFE and must be confirmed for each company and activity with the authorities and your advisers.

Energy and water

Infrastructure sized for industry

The campus operates with 18 MW of power capacity, of which 3 MW is generated by rooftop solar, and an 800 m³/hour water treatment plant. Allocated capacity, backup arrangements and effluent conditions are confirmed for each operation during the technical assessment.
