Manufacture of cordage, rope, twine and netting

ISIC 1394 involves the physical transformation of fibers into finished goods. Under MD 229 of 2025, manufacturing is a Qualifying Activity. Forensic focus will be on whether the 'substantial transformation' occurs within the zone or if the entity is merely acting as a re-packager or transshipment point, which would disqualify the 0% rate.

Audit Red Flag

Artificial separation of the 'manufacturing' phase from 'distribution' to non-Free Zone persons to circumvent the 5% de minimis threshold on non-qualifying revenue.
