Warehousing in Panama
Warehousing services in Panama across the ZLC, the Canal and Tocumen
Warehousing in Panama with Interworld Freight combines the Zona Libre de Colón (ZLC), the largest free zone in the Western Hemisphere, with the Panama Canal and Tocumen International Airport (PTY) under one operation, with secure storage, real-time inventory and flexible LATAM distribution across Pacific and Atlantic gateways. Panama is the trade crossroads of the Americas, connecting Asia-Pacific, North America, the Caribbean and South America.
Our facilities work as a regional distribution platform, not just storage: shared space, dedicated bonded facilities (depósito aduanero) and ZLC operations, a cloud-based WMS with reporting in English and Spanish, 24/7 surveillance, controlled access, fire suppression systems and full alignment with the Dirección General de Aduanas (DGA). Panama is dollarized, so operations run in USD, removing FX friction for North American shippers.

Shared space, bonded warehouse or Zona Libre de Colón?
Three ways to store goods in Panama, depending on where the cargo is finally sold.
Same in every option: Reporting: Cloud-based WMS in English and Spanish.
Daniel Zapata · Operations Director
Not sure which option fits?
Tell Dani what you store, how long it stays and where it is sold: he maps each SKU to shared, bonded or ZLC space and prices it.
Which option fits your cargo?
Choose shared space if…
You want flexible storage without committing to a full facility, for pilot LATAM operations or seasonal peaks.
Choose a bonded warehouse if…
Your goods are sold in Panama and you want to pay duties only when they are cleared.
Choose the ZLC if…
You import, repack and re-export, so goods should never clear Panamanian customs.
