Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ)
Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ) are designated areas in U.S. Ports of Entry where foreign and domestic products are considered outside U.S. Customs Territory. FTZ #275 at LAN covers eight counties including Clinton, Eaton, Gratiot, Ingham, Isabella, Jackson, Livingston, and Shiawassee.
Importing and exporting companies benefit from using foreign trade zones.
These benefits include:
- Improved Cash Flow: By delaying, reducing, or eliminating duties, money can be available for other needs.
- Logistical Flexibility: Goods may be transferred duty free from U.S. ports of arrival to a FTZ or between FTZs. If the products are re-exported, no duty is paid. Products made overseas for overseas markets may be brought into a FTZ for storage or consolidation with other products, allowing distribution of complete shipments to customers.
- Duty Reduction: In many cases, duties are higher for parts than for finished products. Companies can use an FTZ to import parts duty-free, assemble a product, and then only be required to pay duty on the final product (vs. all the individual parts).
- Lower Taxes: Goods in an FTZ normally avoid federal excise taxes.
