What is an FTZ? The Foreign-Trade Zones Act was created to "expedite and encourage foreign commerce" in the United States. This tariff and tax relief is designed to lower the costs of U.S.-based operations engaged in international trade and thereby create and retain the employment and capital investment opportunities that result from those operations.
