                        areas under U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
                        supervision that are generally considered outside CBP 
                        territory upon activation. Located in or near CBP ports 
                        of entry, they are the United States’ version of what 
                        are known internationally as free-trade zones.
                        <P class=p>
                        <P class=p>Authority for establishing these facilities 
                        is granted by the Foreign-Trade Zones Board under the 
                        Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 
                        81a-81u). The Foreign-Trade Zones Act is administered 
                        through two sets of regulations, the FTZ Regulations (15 
                        CFR Part 400) and CBP Regulations (19 CFR Part 146). 
                        <P class=p>
                        <P class=p>Foreign and domestic merchandise may be moved 
                        into zones for operations, not otherwise prohibited by 
                        law, including storage, exhibition, assembly, 
                        manufacturing, and processing. All zone activity is 
                        subject to public interest review. Foreign-trade zone 
                        sites are subject to the laws and regulations of the 
                        United States as well as those of the states and 
                        communities in which they are located. 
                        <P class=p>
                        <P class=p>Under zone procedures, the usual formal CBP 
                        entry procedures and payments of duties are not required 
                        on the foreign merchandise unless and until it enters 
                        CBP territory for domestic consumption, at which point 
                        the importer generally has the choice of paying duties 
                        at the rate of either the original foreign materials or 
                        the finished product. Domestic goods moved into the zone 
                        for export may be considered exported upon admission to 
                        the zone for purposes of excise tax rebates and 
                        drawback.

                        the operation sponsors foreign-trade zones. The 
                        operations are conducted on a public utility basis, with 
                        published rates. A typical general-purpose zone provides 
                        leasable storage/distribution space to users in general 
                        warehouse-type buildings with access to various modes of 
                        transportation. Many zone projects include an industrial 
                        park site with lots on which zone users can construct 
                        their own facilities.

                        adequately "the public interest".

                        <P class=p>
                        <P class=p>It is the intent of the U.S. foreign-trade 
                        zone program to stimulate economic growth and 
                        development in the United States. In an expanding global 
                        marketplace there is increased competition among nations 
                        for jobs, industry and capital. The FTZ program was 
                        designed to promote American competitiveness by 
                        encouraging companies to maintain and expand their 
                        operations in the United States.
                        <P class=p>
                        <P class=p>The FTZ program encourages U.S.-based 
                        operations by removing certain disincentives associated 
                        with manufacturing in the United States. The duty on a 
                        product manufactured abroad and imported into the U.S. 
                        is assessed on the finished product rather than on its 
                        individual parts, materials, or components. The U.S. 
                        based manufacturer finds itself at a disadvantage 
                        compared with its foreign competitor when it must pay a 
                        higher rate on parts, materials, or components imported 
                        for use in a manufacturing process. The FTZ program 
                        corrects this imbalance by treating products made in the 
                        zone, for the purpose of tariff assessment, as if it 
                        were manufactured abroad. At the same time, this country 
                        benefits because the zone manufacturer uses U.S. labor, 
                        services, and inputs.
