A Foreign-Trade Zone is a location in the United States, secure and under U.S. Customs and Border Protection oversight, where companies may bring in foreign and domestic merchandise for storage, processing, assembly, or manufacturing under special customs procedures. Depending on the activity, merchandise admitted to an FTZ may qualify for deferral, reduction, or elimination of certain customs duties compared to standard entry. This can be relevant to importers, manufacturers, and distributors that operate — or are considering establishing — a facility within FTZ 041's service area.
Businesses evaluating whether FTZ status fits a specific facility typically work with a customs broker or an FTZ compliance consultant to review the operation, determine whether site or subzone designation is applicable, and prepare the required filings. FTZ 041, administered by the Port of Milwaukee, provides the zone framework under which such site or subzone requests within its service area may be pursued through the appropriate application channels.
