Foreign Trade Zone

Foreign trade zone

Take one look at the population, economic, business and other growth indicators throughout Brown County and it’s readily understandable why the Green Bay area obtained foreign trade zone status. The area we call home provides direct access to world markets via land, sea and air. The Austin-Straubel International Airport designation as a general-purpose foreign trade zone includes more than 2,300 acres of airport property.

Foreign trade zone services
Foreign trade zones are designated areas, within the Untied States, where foreign and domestic merchandise is considered to be outside the territorial U.S. for customs purposes. Consequently, merchandise can be imported into one of these zones without going through federal customs entry procedures or paying import duties. The appropriate customs duties are payable only at the time of transfer from a zone for U.S. consumption.
