The Hong Kong Free Trade Zone is the largest free trade zone in the world, followed by the Panama Colon Free Trade Zone, both offer a ton of opportunities for importers and exporter. First, lets start and take a look at the geographical area they both cover. The Hong Kong Free Trade Zone is in southern part of China on the coast and covers all of Southeast Asia, Australia, India the West Coast of the United States and the Continent of Asia. With China as the world largest manufacturing center and #1 in exporting to the world no wonder Hong Kong is a strategic outfit for exporters and importers. Panama's Colon Free Trade Zone is another strategic entity that covers Central America, South America, The Caribbean Islands and Southern America (USA). Sitting at #2 in the world of Free Trade Zones, Panama offers manufactures, retailers and exporters an opportunity and a base to take advantage of the lucrative markets in the Central and South America. Both Zones trade is dominated by Chinese imports followed by the United States, UK, Germany, Taiwan, and Singapore. Free Trade Zone areas are ideal for importers or exporters, retailers, wholesalers, manufactures, freight forwarders, international banking and many other institutions that deal with Global Trade. Throughout my blog I will continue to give updates and information regarding both of these important strategic zones of international trade.
