The EDA is grantee of record for Foreign Trade the #210 having been awarded the privilege of establishing, operating and maintaining a foreign trade zone for the 60 mile geographic area surrounding the U.S. Customs port of entry for Port Huron, Michigan.
A foreign trade zone (FTZ) is a site within the United States, in or near a U.S. Customs port of entry, where foreign and domestic merchandise is generally considered to be in international commerce. Foreign or domestic merchandise may enter this enclave without a formal Customs entry or the payment of Custom duties or government excise taxes. Merchandise entering a zone may be:
• Stored
• Repaired
• Displayed
• Manufactured
• Assembled
• Sampled
• Tested
• Manipulated
|
• Salvaged
• Relabeled
• Mixed
• Destroyed
• Repackaged
• Cleaned
• Processed
|
If the final product is exported from the United States, no U.S. Customs duty or excise tax is levied. If, however, the final product is imported into the United States, Customs duty and excise taxes are due only at the time of transfer from the foreign trade zone and formal entry in the U.S. The duty paid is the lower of that applicable to the product itself or its component parts. Thus, zones provide opportunities to realize customs duty savings by zone users. In addition, zone procedures provide one of the most flexible methods of handling domestic and imported merchandise.
