FTZ Bonds – Foreign Trade Zones

If you want to operate an FTZ, you’ll need an FTZ Bond. We help you get the best bond at the best price — and get the most out of it!

Description

Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs) are secured areas where merchandise can be placed without a formal US Customs entry. Duty payments are delayed until the merchandise is withdrawn from the FTZ, or not paid at all if the goods are exported. But to operate in an FTZ, you must be bonded.

DB Schenker Trade Solutions can help you obtain and file the right FTZ bond at the best price. We deal with A+ bond providers. Our unmatched buying power means we’ll get you the very best rates.

We know how complex FTZs can be; our consultants are here to help you avoid the pitfalls, streamline your business processes and increase your profitability.
