Why Panama needs custom preforms

Panama is a global logistics hub built around the canal, the Colón free zone and a construction-heavy capital.

Water, soft-drink, juice and edible-oil bottlers blow preforms into bottles on site, which saves most of the freight cost of shipping empty bottles.

FMCG, beverages & packaging in Panama

Bottlers and consumer brands in Panama import PET preforms, HDPE bottles and barrels, and glass packaging. Shipping preforms instead of finished bottles cuts freight per unit dramatically.

In Panama, beverage & water bottlers and food processors buy custom preforms from us mainly for packaged drinking water and carbonated soft drinks.

What does custom preforms cost in Panama?

Price depends on the size, grade, quantity and packing of the custom preforms you need, so we quote per enquiry in USD, which your bank converts to Panamanian balboa / US dollar. Mixed-product containers usually lower the landed cost per item.

Import duty plus VAT (IVA). Import procedures are simple for most goods. Confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker; we provide the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and test certificates.

Is there a trade agreement between India and Panama?

There is no India-specific trade agreement with Panama, so standard (MFN) duty applies to custom preforms. We supply a non-preferential certificate of origin with every shipment.

Can I combine custom preforms with other products in one shipment to Panama?

Yes. Custom Preforms can be consolidated with other pet preforms and products from our other divisions in one FCL or LCL container with one set of documents.

Why import PET preforms instead of bottles?

Preforms occupy a fraction of the volume of blown bottles, so one container of preforms produces many times more bottles, dramatically reducing freight cost per bottle.
