Panama’s geographical position and transport infrastructure facilitate trade in goods and services. BCCA supports companies that need to organize their commercial operations and assess their legal obligations.
A platform for trade
The expanded Panama Canal, inaugurated on June 26, 2016, forms part of a platform that brings together ports on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, air connections, and logistics and financial services.
The choice of location or a special regime should reflect the company’s activities and the applicable requirements. We evaluate these conditions before recommending a structure.
Advice for your operations
- Review of domestic and international commercial contracts.
- Assessment of corporate structures for investment projects.
- Guidance on documentation and obligations associated with the operation.
- Tax advice and coordination of the business’s legal needs.
Documentation and requirements
Import and export requirements depend on the goods, their origin and destination, and any necessary authorizations. We review each operation to determine the required documentation.
