Foreign-Trade Zone 075 is a designated FTZ serving Phoenix, Arizona, under the sponsorship of the City of Phoenix. Its service area covers Maricopa County (excluding the City of Mesa) and portions of Pinal and Yavapai Counties, with Phoenix, AZ serving as the port of entry.
A Foreign-Trade Zone is a location within the United States, treated for customs purposes as being outside U.S. commerce, where companies can defer, reduce, or in some cases eliminate customs duties on imported merchandise. Goods brought into an FTZ may be stored, assembled, manufactured, or otherwise processed before a formal customs entry is filed, and duties are generally assessed only when goods leave the zone for domestic consumption. This structure is relevant to importers, manufacturers, and distributors that bring foreign-origin goods or components into their operations.
Businesses operating, or planning to establish, a facility within FTZ 075's service area may find zone status relevant to their supply chain and customs planning. Because FTZ designation involves specific site or subzone applications, companies typically work with a customs broker or an FTZ compliance consultant to evaluate whether a given facility and its import activity are a good fit for zone status, and to help prepare and file the required paperwork with the City of Phoenix as grantee and the FTZ Board.
This profile is informational and reflects only the zone number, sponsor, service area, and port of entry as designated.
