City of Phoenix Foreign-Trade Zone No. 75 - En Español

Foreign-Trade Zones are secure areas under supervision of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that are considered outside the customs territory of the United States at which special CBP procedures may be used. Foreign and domestic merchandise may be moved into zones for storage, exhibition, assembly, manufacturing, and processing without payment of duties, quota and other import restrictions until the decision is made to enter the goods into the U.S. market.

Authority for establishing foreign-trade zones is granted by the Foreign-Trade Zones Board. As Grantee, the City of Phoenix is responsible for establishing, administering and marketing the Foreign-Trade Zone program for the greater Phoenix area. The City of Phoenix can sponsor a new FTZ application for sites within 60 miles, or within 90 minutes' driving time from the Phoenix Port of Entry, which is Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

User benefits include:
      ~ Duty deferral
      ~ Duty elimination on exports
      ~ Duty reduction (inverted tariff relief) and elimination on imports
      ~ Scrap/Waste savings
      ~ No time constraints on storage
      ~ Shorter transit time - Direct Delivery

      ~ Arizona offers an approximately 75% reduction in real and personal property taxes for activated FTZs (certain restrictions apply)
