Foreign-Trade Zone Advantages Top Ten Foreign-Trade Zone Financial Savings Advantages The Great Western Industrial Park is designated as a foreign-trade zone – a site that lies outside of the customs territory of the United States. This designation can provide you a competitive advantage. Foreign and domestic merchandise may be admitted into these zones for storage, exhibition, assembly, manufacture or other processing. Customs duties are paid only when imported merchandise is shipped into the U.S. customs territory, and the duties can be substantially lowered or eliminated, depending on the final product manufactured. This designation increases cash flow and offers significant savings for businesses to manufacture competitively in the United States.
