A Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) is a secure area under U.S. Customs and Border Protection supervision that is generally considered outside CBP territory upon activation. Located in or near CBP ports of entry, Foreign Trade Zones are the United States’ version of what are known internationally as free trade zones.

A free trade zone, also called a foreign trade zone, formerly free port, is an area where goods may be landed, handled, manufactured, or reconfigured, and re-exported without the intervention of the customs authorities.
