Will I eventually pay duty on foreign merchandise in an FTZ?
FTZs are part of a duty deferral program. Generally, payment of duties and excise taxes on foreign merchandise admitted to a zone will be deferred until the goods are transferred from the zone to the Customs territory for consumption. Merchandise may be permanently stored, destroyed, or exported, eliminating the need to pay duties and excise taxes in most cases.
