Value-Add Services: Custom Bonded Warehouse vs. Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) Options

Hello Customers,

We want to emphasize a key advantage: 360 Global Warehousing and Distribution provides access to both Custom Bonded Warehouse (CBW) and Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) space, ensuring we can tailor the optimal solution for your cargo.

Custom Bonded Warehouse (CBW): This is ideal for straightforward duty deferral. You can store your goods for up to five years, postponing the payment of duties and taxes until the product is officially entered into U.S. commerce.

Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ): This offers maximum financial flexibility. Within the FTZ, you can defer, reduce, or eliminate duties entirely. If you plan to manufacture, process, or assemble goods and then export them, duties are eliminated. If imported domestically, duties are paid only when the product leaves the zone, often at a reduced rate.

We can analyze your specific operation to determine whether a CBW or FTZ will yield the greatest cost savings and operational efficiency.
