Foreign Trade Zone Operations Management

Helping you reduce import and export costs by structuring trade activities correctly, including compliant and well-managed foreign trade zone operations.

What is a Foreign Trade Zone?

Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs), established under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 1934, are designated areas near U.S. ports that allow you to reduce or eliminate duties, taxes, and fees on imported goods. Operating within an FTZ gives you better inventory control, smoother logistics, and simplified compliance, helping your import and export activities run more efficiently and cost effectively.
