Panama historically has been a transit country, functioning as a
connection point for international trade. Thanks to our
geographical position and logistics infrastructure, tons of
merchandise transit through the national territory, without this
being its final destination.
Thus, the daily passage of merchandise is a great challenge for
the protection of Intellectual Property Rights, because our
infrastructure is not exempt from being used, also, as a bridge for
the trade of counterfeit products. In order to prevent the
aforementioned situation and to fully fulfill the mission that
Panama has with world trade, regulations have been developed that
allow the control of the transit of products both for those whose
final destination is Panama, and for those who are in transit.
