By Federal statute, tangible personal property imported from outside the U.S. and held in a FTZ, and tangible personal property produced in the U.S. and held in a zone for exportation are not subject to state and local ad valorem taxes. Most State and County tax authorities exempt all merchandise in a FTZ from inventory taxation.

Production or assembly operations within a FTZ can result in significant savings. By importing finished product, U.S. duty is applicable on foreign labor, overhead and profit since it is included in the value of the product. Substantial savings in duty may be obtained by making the finished product within a FTZ. The WNYFTZ may be used to inspect product to meet proper specifications before duty is paid. Product not meeting specifications can be repaired, re-exported or scrapped without duty payments.

Customs duties are paid only when imported merchandise is shipped into US Customs territory. Merchandise may be held in inventory in the WNYFTZ without Customs duty payment... this results in cash conservation. Goods imported and stored in a foreign trade zone may be re-exported without ever incurring customs duties, avoiding the lengthy drawback procedures.
