What are Freeports?

Freeports are areas where normal tax and customs rules do not apply. They can include airports or maritime ports. Within a freeport area, imports can enter with simplified customs documentation without the need to pay tariffs. Businesses operating inside designated areas in and around the port can manufacture goods using these imports, adding value, before exporting again without facing payment of full tariffs or procedures.

Should the manufactured goods move out of the freeport to another part of the UK, they have to go through the full import process, including paying any tariffs.

Freeports are similar to enterprise zones, which are designated areas subject to special regulatory requirements, tax breaks and government support. A freeport differs because it is targets businesses that import, process and then re-export goods. It is not aimed at more general business support or regeneration objectives.
