Benefits
Advantages guaranteed by law for strategic exporters
ZPE Piauí offers one of the most competitive tax regimes in the country, with federal tax suspension, exchange freedom and customs infrastructure within the industrial complex itself.
- Tax suspension for up to 20 years
- 100% of foreign currency kept abroad
- Dedicated Customs Clearance Area
- Guaranteed by Law No. 11,508/2007
Four pillars of competitive advantage
The EPZ regime acts simultaneously on taxes, foreign exchange, bureaucracy and logistics — reducing the structural cost of the entire export operation.
Suspension of federal taxes on inputs and equipment
- Exemption from Import Tax, IPI, PIS/Pasep, Cofins, IOF and AFRMM
- Applicable to imported machinery, inputs and raw materials
- Savings of 30% to 40% on the value of imported equipment
- Legally guaranteed for up to 20 years, with the possibility of extension
Suspension applies across the entire production chain
The suspension applies from the acquisition of inputs and equipment to operations linked to export production.
30–40% estimated savings on the value of an imported machine
The impact accumulates throughout the entire chain — from the acquisition of inputs to the export of the final product — generating a structural competitive gain in every production cycle.
Market flexibility
Legislation allows up to 20% of annual gross revenue to come from domestic market sales — ensuring the production plant does not suffer from idleness during fluctuations in global demand.
