Foreign Trade Zone 252

Add to Report

Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) 252 in Amarillo was established on August 28, 2001. This benefits local companies conducting business internationally and allows import/export activity more expediently and at reduced expense.

The Foreign Trade Zone program offers substantial advantages to U.S.-based manufacturers and distributors, many of which are not available under free trade zone regimes abroad. In general, merchandise in a zone may be: assembled, exhibited, cleaned, manipulated, manufactured, mixed, processed, relabeled, repackaged, repaired, salvaged, sampled, stored, tested, displayed and destroyed.
 
Some of the benefits that are most attractive to companies are 1) relief from inverted tariffs, 2) duty exemption on re-exports, 3) duty elimination on waste, scrap and yield loss, 4)savings on damaged or nonconforming items, 5) weekly entry savings, 6) cash flow (duty deferral) savings, 7) zone-to-zone transfers, 8) government and military sales, 9) and ad valorem tax relief.
 
Companies often find that the integration of a variety of FTZ benefits and procedures enables them to maximize their savings and minimize their operational costs at each point in their FTZ distribution or manufacturing processes.
