The five free zones active as of April 2024 (Soy502) are: Ciplesa, in Colonia El Rodeo, Zone 7 of Guatemala City; Consigna, on the Pacific highway, Granjas Italia, Villa Nueva; Sadinsa, in Condado El Naranjo, Zone 4 of Mixco; Parque Zeta La Unión, at km 30.5 of the Pacific highway, Amatitlán; and Zofraco, in Zone 12 of Guatemala City. All are privately administered. The Ministry of the Economy (MINECO) is the certifying body, but no public online register of the resolutions in force was located.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
