What is an FTZ?
(Foreign Trade Zone)

An FTZ is a secure U.S. site outside of Customs territory, offering unique advantages for shippers.

Why Use an FTZ?

  • Avoid or Defer Tariffs and Duties
  • Streamline Operations
  • Boost Cost Savings

How It Works:

  • DESIGNATION: Public entities, governments, or organizations establish an FTZ.
  • SETUP: A secure area is created, exempt from Customs duties or obligations.
  • OPERATIONS: shippers store, process, or re-export goods tariff-free.
  • REWARDS: Enjoy reduced costs and enhanced efficiency.

Navigating FTZs and Bonded Warehouses isn't just about compliance—it's about turning trade hurdles into opportunities. Whichever fits your flow, both can slash costs and boost efficiency. And with Aries' Customs and Trade Services, our dedicated team handles the full picture: from brokerage and compliance to seamless FTZ activation or Bonded setup. Let us manage the details so you focus on growth—no matter your choice.
