When the duty rate on a finished product is lower than its individual parts, you benefit. McAllen FTZ allows you to pay the lower duty rate—boosting your margins. It's a smarter way to manufacture and save.
Goods shipped from the FTZ to foreign countries are exempt from U.S. customs duties. That means you won’t pay import taxes on items that never enter U.S. commerce. More trade, less expense.
Pay only for what you use. Any materials scrapped or wasted in the FTZ aren’t subject to duty. It’s a cost-saving benefit that adds up over time.
Instead of filing daily customs entries, you can file just one per week. This simplifies operations and significantly reduces processing fees. Less paperwork, more efficiency.
Customs duties are deferred until goods leave the FTZ and enter U.S. markets. That means improved cash flow and greater flexibility. Invest when it matters most.
Imported goods in the FTZ are not subject to local ad valorem (inventory) taxes. This provides a major incentive for businesses storing high-value inventory. Keep more capital working for you.
