Foreign Trade Zone Anniversary
WTDC marked its 2nd anniversary of becoming a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) Operator on December 12, 2014. WTDC was the first active Operator in FTZ 281, a new FTZ granted to Miami Dade County’s Port Miami in 2012.
As an FTZ Operator moving cargo through its own Zone, WTDC has an insider’s look at the inner workings and advantages of FTZs. We managed an average of $1 million a week of inventory, primarily from the Duty Free and Travel Retail industry, through our Zone in 2013 while assisting 12 of our own customers and colleagues to become Foreign Trade Zones themselves as FTZ Consultants.
