Foreign Trade Zones Can Improve Your Competitiveness!

A foreign-trade zone is a designated location in the United States where companies can use special procedures that help encourage U.S. activity and value added – in competition with foreign alternatives – by allowing delayed or reduced duty payments on foreign merchandise, as well as other savings. Thus you are able to clear customs locally, inspect inbound material before paying duties and fees, allowing you to perform assembly, kitting, and pre-distribution work, and most importantly acting to maximize your cash flow associated with the distribution of finished goods to your customers as well as long-term storage of your service parts inventory.
