To improve communication between free trade zone businesses and the government, the Ministry of Commerce has launched the portal http://zonasfrancas.mincit.gov.co, a platform designed to enhance interaction with these geographic areas, qualified users, and support companies, allowing relevant entities to make real-time inquiries. This application is part of the "Simple State, Agile Colombia" strategy, offering a significant reduction in time and costs associated with the procedures for these business development tools.
The portal is intended for investors interested in establishing a free trade zone, operating users of this instrument, qualified users in permanent zones, support companies, and entities involved in the declaration and extension process. The application provides general information about the regime, its regulations, and the platform for submitting requests, as well as processes related to modifications and disqualification of users or support companies, among other aspects.
