port/harbour area
Explanation:
Em portugal não é usual falar em zona primária, mas sim zona portuária, zona de recepção de mercadorias ou cais de descarga. Essa designação é mais brasileira para as instalações portuárias alfandegadas. Ver o seguinte site:

Your answer is closest because you understand the term best in Portuguese. However it isn't *quite* correct, as it applies to multiple types of customs processing areas: airports, harbors and border posts. Your term only applies to sea ports. I'll continue the search for the appropriate term. Thanks for your effort!

zonas primárias
primary jurisdiction


Explanation:
not enough context but I don't think it means AREAS or zones..I think it means primary jurisdiction over goods transported...by courts of law ..
