Foreign Trade Zone FAQs...
Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs) are secured areas under the supervision of Customs and Border Protection...

...where Customs duty is determined when the merchandise leaves the Zone.
General-purpose zones are usually located at ports or industrial parks. They must be opened to multiple zone users. Although manufacturing is permitted within general-purpose zones, the most common activity use is for warehouse and distribution activity.
Subzones are special-purpose zones, usually at manufacturing plants. A subzone of a general- purpose zone can be approved if the company is unable to relocate existing facilities into a general-purpose zone site. Subzones are approved for use by one company for a specific activity. Applications for subzone status must demonstrate a significant public benefit for approval.
