Zona Franca Perico (ZFP) announces the successful completion of a merchandise exit operation led by Sungreen SRL, an Argentine company that is a leader in the development and implementation of solar thermal energy systems. This high-value strategic logistical movement not only validates the operational capacity of the ZFP but also underscores its role as a key orchestrator in supporting companies that promote productive diversification and sustainability in the province.
Details of the Logistical Flow and its Customs Value
The operation consisted of the exit of a batch of critical supplies, which had been temporarily stored in the ZFP under the free zone regime. This modality allows companies to optimize time and costs by deferring the settlement of customs duties until the moment the goods exit into general customs territory.
The dispatched merchandise is vital for Sungreen SRL’s production line and includes:
- Components for Solar Collectors: Essential elements used in the manufacturing of systems that capture solar energy to heat water, fundamental for solar water heaters and climate control.
- Sliders (Closures/Fasteners): Technical components used in the assembly of the structures and covers of their equipment, ensuring the durability and efficiency of the final products.
The Importance of the Free Trade Zone in the Regional Productive Matrix
The movement by Sungreen SRL is a milestone that demonstrates the full functioning of the Perico Free Trade Zone’s business model.
- Competitiveness Tool: The ZFP is not just a warehouse; it is a foreign trade platform that offers tax and customs benefits, allowing companies like Sungreen to manage inventories, consolidate cargo, and defer import duty payments, thereby improving their cost competitiveness.
- Boost to the Green Economy: By facilitating the logistics for a company in the renewable energy sector, the ZFP is positioned as a fundamental support for the transition toward a greener and more sustainable economy, aligned with regional development objectives.
- Creation of Added Value: These operations ensure the continuity of production and the consequent added value generated by Sungreen in its plants, consolidating jobs and technical knowledge in the region.
We reiterate our commitment to operational efficiency and the attraction of investments that generate a positive and diversified impact. We will continue to optimize our services to be the indispensable logistical hub for the industry of the Northern Great Region (Norte Grande), facilitating the importation of supplies and the future exportation of finished products.
