Leading global and regional pharmaceutical organizations are leveraging their regional distribution to South America via LACC. The main drivers behind their strategic set-up are the following:

  1. Centralize long hauls to Latin America Cargo City and customize last miles to destinations, allowing for simpler processes and more efficient long hauls (both seafreight and air freight).
  2. Shift airfreight to sea freight reducing overall long-haul costs. Organizations are shipping full container loads and fractioning and customizing product to destination at LACC.
  3. Perform conditioning activities in bonded warehouse including:
  4. Stickering/Labelling
  5. Inkjetting/Leaflet Insertion
  6. Primary/Secondary Packaging
  7. Others
  8. Defer import tariffs at destination by importing on a need-to basis and maintaining rest of inventory bonded
  9. Consolidate purchase orders at origin and customize product at bonded warehouse, allowing for a smarter stock allocation
  10. Nearshore inventory for faster and more cost-efficient replenishment
  11. Purchase, add-value and re-sell cargo from LACC premises allowing for full tax exemption of income, wealth and value-added tax and no restriction in the repatriation of profits.
