What is a Foreign Trade Zone and how can it help you?
The U.S. Census Bureau is the official source for U.S. export and import statistics and is responsible for issuing regulations governing the reporting of all export shipments from the United States. This final webinar in the eight-part series explores Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs), areas where domestic and foreign commercial merchandise may be held without being subject to Customs duties and other taxes. Through this webinar, develop strategies for successful export reporting and learn how FTZs can benefit local businesses and attract foreign investments in the United States.
Note: Registration closes 1 hour prior to event.
