FTZ Basics What is a Foreign-Trade Zone?
A foreign-trade zone (FTZ) is a site within the United States aligned with a U.S. Customs port of entry where merchandise is considered to be in the stream of international commerce. Companies can save money on tariffs and compete more effectively in the global market place.

Foreign and domestic merchandise may enter the zone without a formal customs entry or the payment of customs duties and be exempt from federal and state use/excise and personal property taxes. There are two types of zones—general purpose and sub-zone. A general purpose zone includes multiple activities by multiple users, like an industrial park. A sub-zone is a one user plant or facility.

What Are the Benefits?

	Deferral, reduction, elimination of duties
	Elimination of drawback
	Labor overhead and profit not calculated in dutiable sale of zone merchandise
	Excise tax reductions
	Inventory is tax exempt while stored in an activated FTZ
