TXL Export Accelerator:

Unlock Global Markets for Your Business

Welcome to the Epicenter of
International Trade

Are you ready to take your scale your business beyond US borders? TXL Exports is your all-in-one solution to expand into Central America, the Caribbean, and Latin American markets by introducing the value propositions offered by the Free Trade Zones that surround the Panama Canal in Panama.

Why

Panama?

The Panama Export Hub thrives at the center of global trade, largely due to the Panama Canal, its geographic position, extensive trade agreements, advanced logistics infrastructure, and a favorable business environment. By serving as a transshipment and redistribution center for goods moving across the globe, Panama plays a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth flow of international trade

Panama Canal

The Panama Canal facilitates around 6% of global trade, allowing large vessels, including Post-Panamax ships, to avoid the long voyage around South America’s Cape Horn. Since its expansion in 2016, the canal can accommodate even larger ships, solidifying Panama’s position as a critical hub for international shipping and logistics, efficiently connecting global markets.

Free Trade Zones and Economic Benefits

Panama’s free trade zones (FTZs), including the Colón Free Zone, Panapark Free Zone, and Panama Pacifico, attract global businesses in manufacturing, warehousing, and export services.

The Colón Free Zone, the second-largest FTZ in the world, serves as a major distribution hub for goods from Asia, the Americas, and Europe.

The Panapark Free Zone is Panama’s private trade zone and offers modern facilities with tax incentives tailored to logistics and industrial side of businesses.

Meanwhile, Panama Pacifico provides a special economic area ideal for corporations with additional benefits like streamlined business regulations and tax breaks. These zones offer reduced customs duties, fewer trade barriers, and significant tax advantages, encouraging companies to set up distribution centers in Panama, enhancing its global trade prominence.

World-Class Port and Logistics Infrastructure

Panama boasts top-tier ports like Port of Balboa and Port of Colón, major gateways for Latin American trade. Supported by extensive rail, road, and air networks, including Tocumen International Airport, Panama provides seamless multimodal logistics, reinforcing its role as a global transport hub.
