To prepare any request to the FTZ Board, use the formats provided on this web site.
Note that if you are a company that wishes to conduct production activity under FTZ procedures, you will need both FTZ
designation of your facility (generally subzone or usage-driven site) as well as production authority. Please see the
FTZ Production Center for more information on what
constitutes “production”.
Overview of Procedures to Establish or Modify FTZ Sites
All requests (and related communications) to the FTZ Board should come from -

documents unless the grantee has been included in the communication.
Application documents (including the pre-docketing copy, if required) should be submitted to : ftz@trade.gov
