Free Zones
OECD 2018 report
Free Zones may be used as distribution channel of counterfeit. It’s desirable by WCO initiative to implement guideline and increase cargo inspection to restrict counterfeit distribution
• Import/export procedures are simple, and large quantities of cargo are distributed
• Difficult to carry out sufficient cargo inspection
• Inaccessible and hard to enforce
