FTZ 106 — Foreign-Trade Zone 106 — Port Authority of Greater Oklahoma City

Oklahoma · Oklahoma · Port of entry: OK, Oklahoma City

FTZ 106 is a Foreign-Trade Zone sponsored by the Port Authority of Greater Oklahoma City, covering a group of Oklahoma counties and using the Oklahoma City, OK port of entry.

Foreign-Trade Zone 106 is sponsored by the Port Authority of Greater Oklahoma City, serving as the grantee organization responsible for administering FTZ activity within its designated service area. That service area spans Blaine, Caddo, Canadian, Cleveland, Comanche, Custer, Garfield, Garvin, Grady, Kay, Kingfisher, Lincoln, Logan, McClain, Noble, Oklahoma, Payne, Pontotoc, Pottawatomie, Seminole and Stephens Counties in the state of Oklahoma. The zone uses the port of entry at Oklahoma City, OK.

A Foreign-Trade Zone is a designated area, secure and under U.S. Customs and Border Protection supervision, where companies may bring foreign or domestic merchandise for storage, assembly, manufacturing, or other processing before it enters U.S. commerce. Depending on how goods are used within the zone, businesses may be able to defer, reduce, or in some cases eliminate certain customs duties on qualifying activity. This can be relevant to importers, manufacturers, and distributors that operate, or are considering operating, a facility within FTZ 106's service area.

Companies exploring whether FTZ status fits a particular facility in this region typically work with a customs broker or an FTZ compliance consultant to evaluate the operation, determine whether site or subzone designation is appropriate, and prepare the paperwork required for formal designation through the FTZ Board process. This profile provides only the基本 identifying facts about FTZ 106 and does not represent an estimate of savings or approval timing for any specific project.

Who qualifies
