Unlock the benefits of FTZ warehouse for your business

If you’re importing goods into the US you might be paying more in duties and fees than you need to, tying up cash that could be working for you.

With GPA’s Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) service and designated warehouses located in Fontana and Perris, California, we can help you legally defer, reduce, or eliminate duties.

This service also provides greater flexibility, faster customs clearance, and better control of your inventory.

What can you expect from GPA’s FTZ service?

Greater control over your costs

By utilizing an FTZ, you can avoid paying duties upfront, allowing you to keep that cash in your business for a longer period.

Duties are only incurred when goods are sold within the US. In the case of exporting goods, those duties may not apply at all.

Reduced customs paperwork

Goods can move directly into our FTZ locations without going through the complete customs process.

This streamlines the procedure, meaning fewer steps, quicker processing times, and fewer delays.

Easier inventory management

Whether you’re storing seasonal stock or preparing for a product launch, an FTZ provides you with the necessary time and space to manage your inventory without the pressure of immediate tax implications.

You can hold your inventory for as long as necessary and bring it into US commerce at the right time for your business.

Why choose
Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs)?

Duty deferral

With an FTZ you can postpone payment of duties until goods leave the zone. This helps you hold onto your capital and avoid upfront costs.

Duty elimination on exports

If your goods don’t enter the US market, there’s no duty to pay. This is especially valuable if you re-export, or fulfill international orders from the US.

Inverted tariff benefits

When finished goods are taxed at a lower rate than their parts, you only pay the lower rate.

Lower processing fees

Shipments can be consolidated into fewer customs entries, cutting down on merchandise processing fees over time.

Who do FTZs works best for?

E-commerce Retailers

You can store seasonal inventory early, fulfill global orders from a central location, and handle returns more efficiently. 

On top of that, flash sales and product launches become easier to plan because your inventory’s ready, but your duties still aren’t due until it sells.

Manufacturers & Assemblers

Use FTZs to hold parts and materials, assemble goods on-site, and pay duties only on the finished product. 

If you’re exporting or dealing with mixed origin components, the savings can be significant.

Consumer Goods & Apparel

High-duty categories like clothing and footwear benefit most from FTZs. If you’re importing in bulk and selling across multiple channels, they gives you flexibility without the cost burden.

If you’re looking to increase efficiency and reduce cost into your supply chain, an FTZ is a strong option. Especially if you’re growing, selling internationally, or dealing with high-duty products.
