State's Foreign Trade Zones

Record #:
12401
Abstract:
The foreign trade zone (FTZ) concept was established in this country in 1934 when Congress passed the enabling legislation. \"Foreign-trade zones are enclosed areas under U.S. Customs supervision where goods imported from foreign countries may be brought without the usual, immediate, formal Customs entry.\" North Carolina has four zones - Wilmington, Morehead City, Charlotte, and Durham. This article provides an update on their operations.
