A Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) is an isolated, policed, and enclosed area that is in or adjacent to a port of entry and is considered outside customs territory of the United States. Goods may be imported, stored, manipulated, manufactured, or re-exported without being subject to customs duties or other ad valorem taxes until they enter U.S. commerce
Duty deferral is the major advantage in an FTZ. This deferral, along with many other FTZ benefits include: exemption from state and local ad valorem (inventory) taxes, inverted tariffs, streamline logistics and supply chain efficiencies, cash flow optimization, flexibility and competitiveness, merchandise processing fee reduction, and duty elimination on scrap and waste.
Businesses can store both foreign and domestic merchandise in a FTZ. Merchandise admitted into a Foreign Trade Zone may be assembled, manufactured (with Board approval), manipulated, sorted, repaired, inspected, distributed, repacked, relabled, exhibited, destroyed, and processed for activities like mixing, cleaning, and testing.
