A Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) represents a designated region within the United States where goods, whether they originate domestically or internationally, are treated as though they are outside the U.S. market for Customs purposes.
This unique status means that items stored within an FTZ are exempt from tariffs (customs duties) and certain taxes, offering significant financial benefits to U.S. companies involved in global trade.
Our mission is to catalyze regional economic growth in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky by promoting the beneļ¬ts of the Foreign Trade Zone program.
Zone schedules, which establish the policies, procedures, and fees for a Foreign Trade Zone, are available for the Greater Cincinnati (46) and Northern Kentucky (47) Foreign Trade Zones below.
