US Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ’s) are a lot like islands – legally secured areas outside the United States for purposes of Customs entry procedures and duties and US Commerce Department quotas. Foreign and domestic goods may enter an FTZ duty-free to be stored, distributed, exhibited, or combined with other foreign and domestic products.
