FOREIGN TRADE ZONE MANAGEMENT
Since 2016 Komar Distribution has saved millions of dollars in interest and processing fees.
DUTY DEFERRAL
Duty deferral in a Foreign-Trade Zone improves businesses’ cash flow by postponing tax payments until goods leave the zone, which saves on interest costs and frees up capital for other uses. Unlike a bonded warehouse there is no limit on the length of time that merchandise may remain within the Zone.
MERCHANDISE PROCESSING FEE (MPF) REDUCTION
By allowing FTZ users to consolidate shipments into a single entry for a week’s worth of goods, rather than filing for each shipment, significant savings are realized.
STREAMLINED LOGISTICS
Upon approval from Customs, users can take advantage of direct delivery to the FTZ.
OTHER BENEFITS
Improved inventory management and security can enhance adherence to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations, potentially reducing security and insurance costs. FTZ merchandise is exempt from insurable value calculations, which can further decrease insurance expenses.
