TVI Logistics™ Foreign Trade Zone status is a special ability granted to certain U.S. facilities, supervised by US Customs, to reduce import/export costs.
Initially established by the federal government to mitigate the additional costs associated with foreign trade, Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ) are designed to stimulate and encourage US activity and competitiveness in international trade.
In a Foreign Trade Zone, duties and tariffs on imported and exported SKUs, products, and other materials are deferred until the items leave the facility. While stored in an FTZ facility, goods may be held as they are, or sorted, consolidated, de-consolidated, assembled, kitted, or otherwise modified before shipment to the final destination. Duties are not charged until the items leave the foreign trade zone.
