The country offers important advantages for locating Regional Distribution Centers, given that Uruguay's regulatory framework offers important advantages for logistics operations, with important incentives for the installation of CDRs and for the handling of merchandise in transit. It includes free zone regimes, ports and free airports, customs warehouses and temporary admission.

Uruguay has an adequate infrastructure, a modern airport and the densest road transport network in all of Latin America, which is also in full update. It has ports with an infrastructure of first level, unique in the South Atlantic coast that operate under the system of Puerto Libre; and a similar regime for airports.
