According to Moldovan media Logos Press, customs duties paid by residents of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Moldova reportedly increased by 32.7%, with total revenue reaching 25.32 million lei. The same article notes that the duty was later eliminated, although the scope of this elimination and its relation to the reported increase remain unspecified. Since there is no official confirmation or publication of a regulatory instrument, this information should be considered preliminary.
Moldova's SEZs operate under special regimes offering fiscal and customs incentives to promote investment. Historically, customs rates in these zones have been low or zero, making a 32.7% increase a significant change. However, the lack of official details—such as the list of affected SEZs, products, or timelines—prevents an accurate impact assessment. The mention of a subsequent duty elimination adds further uncertainty.
