Flexible customs and labor regulation

Flexible Customs and Labor Regulation

We understand the need for operational flexibility and efficiency. That’s why GSEZ provides:

  • Full Exemption from Customs Duties for capital goods, construction materials, and operational inputs brought into the SEZ.
  • Simplified Customs Procedures for moving goods between SEZs and the national territory.
  • Labor Flexibility:
    • Tax-exempt status for expatriate employees.
    • Freedom to employ skilled foreign professionals, especially for export-related industries.
  • Customizable Financial Regulations tailored for SEZ operations, including:
    • Opening of foreign currency accounts.
    • Remittance of export earnings.
    • Use of foreign currencies in transactions within the SEZ.

This regulatory flexibility enhances efficiency and lowers the administrative burden for investors.
