Benefits of an FTZ warehouse:
- Deferred Duty Payments
Customs duties are not paid upon arrival into the U.S., but only when goods are released into domestic commerce. This deferral enhances cash flow and minimizes the need for working capital.
- Reduced Cost of Capital
By avoiding upfront duty payments, brands can significantly lower their borrowing requirements, resulting in reduced interest expenses and stronger financial flexibility.
- Elimination of Duties on Re-exports, Obsolescence, or Damaged Goods
No duties are owed on inventory that is exported, scrapped, or destroyed within the FTZ — preserving margin on unsold or non-viable units.
- Indefinite, Duty-Free Storage
Inventory can be stored without time limits, enabling better control over seasonal products, product launches, and supply chain timing — all without incurring duty liability.
- Lower Customs and Brokerage Costs
Weekly customs entry filings replace daily entries, reducing administrative burden and saving substantially on customs processing and broker fees.
