Employees with imported cars at Foreign Trade Zone, Seattle, April 20, 1950
Order an ImageForeign-Trade Zones (FTZs) are duty-free, quota-free, secured areas in a designated customs “port of entry,” considered outside U. S. Customs territory and exempt from customs tariffs. The FTZ program was established in 1934 to stimulate economic growth and development in the United States by lowering the cost of international trade.
