• Income and social services tax incentives for up to 10 years.
• Total customs exemptions on imported fixed assets.
• Ease of licensing and registration procedures.
• Revenues on exports are exempted from income taxes until the end of 2008.
• Export industries are not subject to customs duties on imported raw materials.
