Free Trade Zone (FTZ) Solutions

Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ)  is a geographical area in United States ports of entry where commercial merchandise, both domestic and foreign, receive the same customs treatment as if it were from outside the U.S.

With our FTZ Solutions, your products remain in secure areas that are under the supervision of Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Advantages of our FTZ solutions include:

  • Merchandise not subject to U.S duty or excise tax while in the zone. Duties and taxes are paid once your goods are transferred from the zone for consumption.
  • Protection against theft under CBP security requirements.
  • Whether products are subject to duty or not, client’s merchandise may remain in a zone indefinitely.
