Free port
Encyclopedia : F : FR : FRE : Free port
A free port (porto franco) or free zone (US: Foreign-Trade Zone) is a port or area with relaxed jurisdiction with respect to the country of location. Most commonly this means being free of customs or being a special customs zone with favorable customs regulations. Earlier in time some free ports enjoyed political autonomy.
The free economic zones are usually called free ports.
Many international airports have free ports.
