What can I apply for – what type of authority is available?
- General-Purpose Zone:Generally for warehouse and distribution activities, usually located at industrial parks, seaports or airports. General-purpose zone sites must be open to multiple users.
- Subzones: For one company, approved for a specific activity, usually manufacturing.
- Manufacturing: Application can also be made for manufacturing within a general-purpose zone if your company is located within an existing zone or is able to re-locate.
- Expansions: Application can either be made to expand the boundaries of a zone or subzone or to expand the scope of approved manufacturing authority.
- Temporary/Interim Manufacturing Authority (T/IM): If you are located within an existing zone and meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for T/IM authority for a period of up to two years. A decision on T/IM cases is usually made within 75 days, and application for permanent authority can be made during the two-year period.
