The Piauí state Export Processing Zone (EPZ), located in the city of Parnaíba, concluded its first international shipment procedure on Monday, Nov 21. A carnauba wax container left the state with all the customs procedures already completed and arrived at the Port of Pecém, where it will depart for its destination. The carnauba wax was produced in the first industry plant installed inside the EPZ. Before the implementation of the special customs zone, the company needed a representative at the Port of Pecém to work all customs procedures in advance. Now, Federal Revenue auditors and dispatchers based within the Piauí EPZ can carry out these procedures, saving companies’ costs and time.
