While it may be a well-kept secret, the U.S. Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) program is a lot older than many people think. Congress created the program during the Great Depression (1934), when it was looking for ways to help drive employment in the United States. Over that time, it has helped thousands of U.S. manufacturers and distributors save millions of dollars each year. And today, importers and exporters are finding new ways to use the program in an era of trade shifts, supply chain disruptions, and increasing tariff rates. Recently, there have been many changes to the program that have both increased the benefits of using an FTZ as well as making them easier to apply and operate. So, if your company is currently not utilizing the FTZ program, now may be a good time to consider how it can benefit your company and your local economy. |
