Foreign-Trade Zone

WTCSav is the grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 104.

FTZ 104 ASF Service Area. Not all parts of Burke County are included.

For 90 years, the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) program has been instrumental in promoting international trade, economic development and job creation in the United States. Authorized by the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 1934, a FTZ is a federally approved location within the United States, which is considered outside of US Customs territory where domestic and foreign merchandise may be placed without formal Customs entry and without payment of duties and taxes.

FTZs help the U.S. economy by allowing companies to source components from around the world at competitive prices, while keeping important value-added activities such as manufacturing in the U.S. Foreign and domestic merchandise can be admitted into a zone without formal Customs entry procedures, the payment of Customs duties or the payment of Federal Excise Tax. The program is available to most U.S.-based companies. FTZs can be multi-user facilities or specific to one company’s use.

Please view our FTZ 104 Flyer and the  FTZ Facts Flyer for more information and watch this short video to learn more about FTZ 104. WTCSav Senior Vice President and President of Foreign-Trade Zone 104 Leigh Ryan is both a Certified Zone Specialist and an Accredited Zone Specialist.

“Foreign-Trade Zones are one of the most effective tools available today to increase the global competitiveness of U.S.-based operations, promote economic development and facilitate international trade.”
