Economic History

Brazil

Under the FTZ program, companies are eligible to receive tax incentives and import tariff reduction or exemption for companies that comply with the BPB until 2013. The main FTZ requirement is that the final assembly of a product must take place in the FTZ. Interestingly enough, the FTZ program does not call for the development of local production of basic inputs and parts which would potentially reduce current annual imports of such items estimated at US$ 6.6 billion.
