The entire 1,900-acre Port San Antonio campus is designated as Foreign-Trade Zone #80-10, providing significant advantages for companies engaged in international trade. FTZ status offers duty deferral, reduction, and elimination benefits that can substantially lower operating costs for retailers, manufacturers, and logistics providers. Whether your operations involve warehousing, testing, repair, assembly, or repackaging, FTZ benefits can improve your bottom line while streamlining customs procedures.
Defer customs duties until goods leave the FTZ and enter U.S. commerce, improving cash flow and reducing carrying costs on inventory.
Pay the lower duty rate between the imported component and finished product. Manufacture within the FTZ to optimize your duty position.
No duties on goods exported from the FTZ, goods destroyed or scrapped within the zone, or products sold to other FTZ operators.
Reduced insurance costs and ad valorem taxes on inventory within the zone, plus streamlined logistics and customs procedures.
Foreign-Trade Zone #80-10 benefits a wide range of business activities, from retail distribution to full manufacturing and kitting.
