Is a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) Right For You?

Is a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) Right For You?

LP-FTZA Foreign Trade Zone, or FTZ, can help global shippers maximize savings and minimize operational costs. Speeding up customs clearance and eliminating paperwork seals the deal. An FTZ’s primary advantage is its ability to improve a company’s competitive position. Businesses can avoid import duties if goods that enter the FTZ are stored, sorted, tested, repackaged, and otherwise handled within the FTZ, then exported without ever entering the U.S. marketplace.

Is an FTZ, right for you? If you answer “YES” to any of the following questions, then an FTZ warehouse might be something you should consider for your business.

  • Do you manufacture, assemble or process with imports?
  • Do you regularly pay more than $485 per week in merchandise processing fees?
  • Do you scrap, reject, destroy, waste, or return some of your imports?
  • Do you export previously imported materials?
  • Do you have to wait long periods of time for your orders to get through customs at the border?
  • Do you sell your imported products to companies that reside in Foreign Trade Zones?
  • Are you selling to the military?
  • Are you currently utilizing a Customs tariff-reduction program?

History: Erie Union Station in 2003

History: Erie Union Station in 2003

LP-HistoryHello All,

I think you’ll get a kick out of this (especially in light of our recent 20th anniversary milestone).

Thanks to Debbie Bigelow we have some cool archival video of when we bought Union Station. See what it looked like when we bought it! Funny, people say how “visionary” we were to do this. I always thought “delusionary” was more accurate ?

Thanks, Deb! — JB
