Abstract:
The U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones program was created by the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 1934. The Foreign-Trade Zones Act was created to "expedite and encourage foreign commerce" in the United States. This is accomplished through the designation of geographical areas, in or adjacent to Customs Ports of Entry, where commercial merchandise receives the same Customs treatment it would if it were outside the commerce of the United States. Merchandise of every description may be held in the Zone without being subject to Customs duties and other ad valorem taxes. The Foreign-Trade Zones program can offer manufacturers and processors located in the United States numerous benefits. A few of the main benefits that account for most of the companies that use the Zones program include: Relief from inverted tariffs, duty exemption on re-exports, duty elimination on waste, scrap, and yield loss, weekly Entry Savings, and duty Deferral. Today, the Zones program acts as a tool by which the United States can practice both the letter and spirit of its trade laws and policies. The Foreign-Trade Zones program has proven to be a successful trade program by consistently creating and retaining jobs and capital investment in the United States.
