A Foreign-Trade Zone is a secure area, supervised by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where goods can be brought in for storage, assembly, manufacturing, or other processing before formal entry into U.S. commerce. Depending on the activity conducted, companies operating within an FTZ may be able to defer, reduce, or in some cases eliminate certain customs duties on merchandise, particularly when goods are re-exported or when finished products carry a lower duty rate than their component parts.
FTZ 110 is relevant to importers, manufacturers, and distributors with operations, or plans for operations, within its stated service area in central New Mexico. Companies considering FTZ status for a specific facility in this region typically work with a customs broker or an FTZ compliance consultant to evaluate whether their operations qualify and to help prepare and file the necessary paperwork with the grantee and the FTZ Board.
