Manufacturing incentives
Relief worth up to 75% — if the structure is right.
Moldova's incentives are real and generous, and they are also conditional. Most of the value is won or lost in how the entity, the site and the investment are set up before production starts.
What is available
Qualifying manufacturer relief
Relief worth up to 75% for manufacturers that meet the investment, employment and activity tests. The structure of the investment decides whether it holds, which is why we set it up before you sign anything.
Free economic zones
Seven zones, including Ungheni on the western corridor. Goods enter, are stored, handled, repacked or partly assembled duty-free, with customs and VAT treatment that suits export manufacturing.
Industrial parks
Serviced land with utilities and simplified permitting. The government has been reclaiming idle zone land and releasing it into parks, which is where new plots are appearing.
TSA grants and donor programmes
Technical assistance and donor-funded grants for equipment, energy efficiency, training and export readiness. Applications are competitive and evidence-heavy; we prepare and defend them.
DCFTA market access
Duty-free access to the EU single market for goods produced in Moldova, provided the origin and compliance paperwork is right at the border. That paperwork is part of what we set up.
