A Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) offers powerful duty-saving and logistical benefits for importers, manufacturers, and distributors. Yet realizing these advantages requires navigating a highly technical application and activation process. Our team helps businesses manage that process from start to finish, ensuring full compliance with U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones Board and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements.

Whether pursuing a site-based sub-zone or a more flexible usage-driven designation tied to an existing facility, we guide businesses in selecting the most efficient structure for their operations. Usage-driven sites, in particular, enable faster deployment and greater adaptability for dynamic supply chains.

We offer comprehensive FTZ support. Our services include application drafting, preparing production authority requests for manufacturing or processing operations, communicating with the FTZ Board and CBP, and coordinating zone activation. We also assist with internal compliance planning to help businesses prepare for CBP audits and maintain seamless regulatory adherence. With experience working with various FTZ grantees and CBP offices, we tailor filings to local expectations while satisfying all federal and local standards.

The FTZ process demands precision and coordination. We help clients move from initial planning to operational approval efficiently—maximizing FTZ benefits like duty deferral, inverted tariffs, and streamlined logistics.
