What is a Foreign-Trade Zone?
A foreign-trade zone (FTZ) is a designated area within the United States where goods can be imported without paying customs duties until they are ready to enter the domestic market. FTZs were created by Congress in 1934 to encourage international trade and investment by providing tax incentives and other benefits to businesses that operate within them.
The Benefits of Operating in an FTZ
Operating in an FTZ offers numerous benefits for businesses, including:
1. Duty Elimination: By operating within an FTZ, businesses can defer or eliminate customs duties on imported goods until they are ready to enter the domestic market. This can result in significant cost savings for companies that import large volumes of goods.
2. Operational Flexibility: Businesses operating within an FTZ have greater flexibility when it comes to managing their inventory and supply chain operations. They can store goods indefinitely without paying duties or taxes, which allows them to respond quickly to changes in demand or market conditions.
3. Improved Cash Flow: By deferring duty payments until later, businesses operating within an FTZ can improve their cash flow and reinvest those funds into other areas of their business.
4. Reduced Administrative Burden: Operating within an FTZ also reduces the administrative burden associated with importing goods into the United States. Businesses only need to file one customs entry per week instead of one per shipment, which saves time and reduces paperwork.
