It should be remembered that DALSE, located at the Isla Verde dock in the Port of Algeciras, accompanied by the head of the company Bernardino Abad SL, was established last year at 50% by the Cádiz Free Trade Zone and the company Bernardino Abad S.L. and its purpose is the management and operation of the Algeciras Customs Warehouse, a facility of the Cádiz Consortium located at the Isla Verde dock in the Port of Algeciras. This Warehouse has the authorization of a customs warehouse, non-customs warehouse and fiscal warehouse, as well as the use of the bulk terminal that the Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras gave as an administrative concession to the Free Zone.
The customs and fiscal deposit of Algeciras is composed of closed facilities perimeter and isolated from the rest of the port environment. It consists of four ships with a covered surface of approximately 8,400 m2 and an attached plot whose discovered surface is approximately 3,200 m2, equipped with ten docks for cargo and discharge of vehicles.
These facilities make up an exempt customs area that allows you to have both community and non-community goods, to which neither the tariffs nor the taxation of the community country is applied. This allows goods from third countries to be deposited without applying tariffs or community trade policy and also to incorporate national and community merchandise without the corresponding taxation, assimilating it to an export.
