Within Kanban’s North Carolina FTZ warehouse, a product can be stored, assembled, and/or processed with U.S. Customs duties deferred until the product is ready for public consumption. We operate the only activated, general purpose foreign trade zone (FTZ) in Eastern North Carolina – offering 175,000 square feet of modern, climate-controlled storage space with rail siding, and a full service transload yard. FTZ warehouse case study A large maker of conveyor belts leverages Kanban’s FTZ services to improve cash flow. Raw materials arrive from Taiwan into the Port of Virginia (Norfolk) and are then shipped to Kanban’s FTZ warehouse, where they are stored until needed at three nearby manufacturing plants. The company avoids payment of customs duties until product leaves the FTZ. Benefits of North Carolina FTZ warehouse services Manage inventory.
