We are extremely glad to greet you
through brochures of the Free Economic
Zone „Bălţi”, created in order to facilitate
your access to information on
opportunities and advantages offered by
FEZ „Bălţi”.
In this way I would also like to bring
to your attention the fact that favorable
geographic location of the Republic of
Moldova provides an exceptional
investment platform, with the first-class
opportunities for the export to EU and CIS
countries. Therefore, on the one part, starting from March 1, 2008 Republic of Moldova
benefits from preferential commercial regime with the increased level of liberalization,
provided unilaterally by the European Union, and on the other part Republic of Moldova
signed 16 free trade agreements within CIS and Stability Pact for the South-East
Europe.
Commercial regime of the Autonomous Trade Preferences provides free access to
the market of European Union, as long as exports from the Republic of Moldova meet
the requirements of European Union for the origin of goods. This extends to a group of
more than 12000 units and includes almost all products listed in the Combined
Nomenclature of Goods, including the majority of industrial, agricultural and piscicultural
products. As a result of obtainment of the Autonomous Trade Preferences regime in
economic relations with European Union, Moldova is the only country from the
Commonwealth of Independent States which reached such level of cooperation in
relation to the European Union.
Due to the aforementioned, as well as to tax and customs facilities provided by the
legislation of the Republic of Moldova for free zones, location of international
organizations and transnational corporations in the perimeter of the FEZ Bălţi, for
conduction of business between Western and Eastern markets, will undoubtedly lead to
optimal expected results, exceeding all your expectations. If you are interested in finding

The success of free economic zones consists not so much in the initial
project, as in flexibility of their functioning
The free economic zones have long proved their benefit for the economy of
dozens of countries, either establishing or improving their economy. Their goal was to
facilitate the economic development by attracting capital investment. For this purpose,
special favorable terms similar to the tax incentives have been created. Thus, the free
access of goods to the country in combination with a lower tax on profit earned in the
zone represents a favorable prerequisite for the investment generation.
The free zone represents the most comprehensive form of suspensive customs
regimes. According to the law, goods may be imported in a well-defined free zone of the
national territory for the purpose of their processing and sale by the third parties without
any tariff or non-tariff restrictions of the customs regime as compared to the national
territory, in conformity with the area reserved for the free customs zone.
Regarding the advantages offered by the free economic zones of the Republic of
Moldova, these are diverse. Undoubtedly, these advantages refer to the regions on the
territory of which the free zone is situated. It is worth emphasizing the advantages
offered to exporters by the free economic zone:
the use of local skilled labor force for execution of various operations related to
activities in the free zone;
lease of premises and land plots at the price that is much more attractive than the
market one;
the possibility to store the goods without any restrictions on the maximum and
minimum limits, and without the obligation to pay customs duties;
storage of the goods in storehouses and platforms;
execution of packing, unpacking, assembly, sorting, processing and other
operations;
handling of the foreign goods (unloading, loading, reshipping);
obtaining significant benefits from the difference in transportation fees for the
goods imported in and re-exported from the zone after processing;
the possibility to open shops in the zone – permanent exhibitions for the purpose
of sale;
the possibility to contribute to, improve, equip and use the zone on the
cooperation basis with a view of repaying the investments by means of services
for zone administration.
