1. Export Free Trade Zones
There can be identified three differente models: a.  Industrial Diversification: to increase the value added of goods and services produced in FTZs. eg. Costa Rica
and Dominican Republic had a strong textile/apparel industry, today they high tech products (electronics,
medical devices, and pharma products)
b.  Dependence in «maquilas» (textil/apparel), taking advantage of CAFTA-DR (El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua)
c.  Logistic Services: distribution of goods and services (Panama, Chile, Argentina)
2. Import Substitution Free Zones (Brazil)
- Looks to supply the local market.
3. Mixed Free Trade Zones (Colombia, Uruguay)
-  Permanent
