Guatemala offers three physical-and-legal vehicles for setting up a plant or a warehouse: (1) free zones under Decree 65-89; (2) ZOLIC and the ZDEEPs (Public Special Economic Development Zones) under Decree 22-73 and its amendments; and (3) private industrial or logistics parks with no special tax regime, which in some cases overlap with a ZDEEP (Michatoya Pacífico among them). As of April 2024 five free zones were operating, all privately run, with 128 user companies (Soy502); as of September 2025 there were three ZDEEPs in operation and open to clients: Puerta del Istmo, Michatoya Pacífico and Zona Libre Quetzal (Prensa Libre). No private park publishes rates: all require a commercial enquiry.
