The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) program allows U.S.-based companies to defer, reduce or even eliminate Customs duties on products admitted within more than 40 Trade Zones in the Port of Los Angeles. Under this program, certain types of merchandise can be imported without going through formal Customs entry procedures or paying import duties until the products are transferred from the FTZ sites for U.S. consumption. If merchandise never enters the U.S. commerce or is re-exported to other countries, then no duties are paid on those items.
