Free duty zoon in Mszczonów focuses on development.
The Free Duty Zone (WOC) in Mszczonów is a key hub for the transport, freight forwarding, and logistics (TSL) industry. Due to its strategic location and ready investment areas, it is an ideal place for the development of international trade.
Within the WOC, processes such as storage, warehousing, packaging, consolidation, and deconsolidation of goods intended for foreign recipients or imported for domestic needs take place. AC Porath is involved in this initiative, working alongside WOC Mszczonów to provide customs and tax services in the international trade operations chain.
