The city of El Paso operates the largest Foreign Trade Zone (No. 68) along the U.S. Mexico border.  This program is a great advantage to North American and other foreign companies doing business in the bi-national region.  It allows U.S. based companies to defer, reduce or eliminate customs duties on products entering the free trade zone.

Manufacturing companies often use the Foreign Trade Zone program to:

• Conduct complete processing or assembly operations and defer the payment of duties until the product enters U.S. territory.
• Combine foreign and domestic components through processing, manufacturing or reassembly of products in order to qualify for lower duties. U.S. overhead or materials are also duty free.
• Avoid payment of duties on scrap and waste due to processing or manufacturing.
• Avoid payment of duties on materials used in manufacturing and on exported materials.
• Place goods intended for exports in the FTZ in order to qualify for tax rebates
