What is a Foreign Trade Zone?
An FTZ is a secured area within the U.S., where merchandise can be admitted without the immediate payment of
U.S. Customs duties or Excise taxes. Importers and exporters can take advantage
of our facilities within the FTZ as an arena in which to conduct international business. Merchandise admitted into the
FTZ can be repacked, relabeled, cleaned, sorted, sampled, exhibited, destroyed, processed, assembled, manipulated,
or exported, all without paying U.S. Customs duties while in the Foreign Trade
Zone.
As the largest independent operator of FTZ's in the United States, Metro International is uniquely qualified to handle your International trade
shipments. |
