with our clients to evaluate if Foreign Trade Zone status is a good fit for their operation. Following a meeting where we review the operation and facility, WTDC will prepare a proposal for our services as well as an outline of fees due to other parties as part of the process. As an operator, we can offer further insight on the day to day expectations of a Foreign Trade Zone, not just assistance in compiling the application.<\/p><p><b>Application\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 WTDC works with clients \u2013 the Operator \u2013 to prepare an FTZ Application to be processed by the Grantee. An Operator is a corporation or partnership that maintains and operates the Zone at the permission of the Grantee and in compliance with U.S. Customs. A Grantee is a public or private entity that has the authority to establish, operate, or maintain a Zone. There are fees due to the Grantee for the Application and then an annual fee. . The completed Application is then sent by the Grantee to the Foreign Trade Zones Board for approval. The Foreign Trade Zones Board is within the Department of Commerce. Following this approval, a contract will be drafted by the Grantee to bind the Operator and the Grantee.<\/p><p>Following the Foreign Trade Zones Board approval and contract with the Grantee, the Operator will prepare another application to U.S Customs. This application is more in-depth than the Grantee application and will take cooperation between the Operator and WTDC. The CBP Application includes all the systems and processes detailing how the Operator will receive, store, and release cargo in compliance with U.S. Customs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6429493 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6429493\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bc456b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4bc456b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3719c976 elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3719c976\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is a foreign-trade zone (FTZ)?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a954ab elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3a954ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) is a designated area in the U.S. where companies can store, manufacture, and distribute goods with reduced customs duties and simplified regulatory processes.
