62NDANNUAL REPORT of theForeignTradeZonesBoard
U.S. FOREIGN-TRADE ZONESForeign-trade zones are secure areas under U.S. Customs supervision that are considered outside theCustoms territory of the United States for the purposes of Customs duty payment upon activation underthe regulations of the U.S. Customs Service. Located in or near U.S. Customs ports of entry, they arethe U.S. version of what are known internationally as free trade zones. Authority for establishing thesefacilities is granted by the Foreign-Trade Zones Board under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 1934, asamended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the Board's regulations (15 C.F.R. Part 400). The ExecutiveSecretariat of the Board is located within the Import Administration of the U.S. Department ofCommerce, Washington, D.C. 20230.Foreign and domestic merchandise may, subject to FTZ Board and Customs regulations, be movedinto zones for operations not otherwise prohibited by law involving storage, exhibition, assembly,manufacturing, and processing. All zone activity is subject to public interest review, and allmanufacturing and processing activity requires a case-by-case review. Under zone procedures theusual formal Customs entry procedure and payment of duties is not required on the foreign merchandiseunless and until it enters Customs territory for domestic consumption, in which case the importernormally has a choice of paying duties either on the original foreign materials or the finished product.Domestic goods moved into a zone for export are considered exported upon entering the zone forpurposes of excise tax rebates and drawback. FTZ sites and activities remain within the jurisdiction offederal, state and local governments and agencies.Zones are sponsored by qualified public or public-type corporations, which may themselves operatethe facilities or contract for their operations with public or private firms. The operations are conductedon a public utility basis, with published rates. A typical general-purpose zone provides leasablestorage/distribution space to users in general warehouse type buildings with access to all modes oftransportation. Most zone projects include an industrial park site with lots on which zone users canconstruct their own facilities. Subzones are usually private plant sites authorized by the Board throughzone grantees for operations that cannot be accommodated within an existing general-purpose zone.The regulations of the Foreign-Trade Zones Board are published in the Code of Federal Regulations atTitle 15, Part 400 (15 C.F.R. Part 400), and the regulations of the U.S. Customs Service concerningzones at Title 19, Part 146 (19 C.F.R. Part 146). Information on Foreign-Trade Zones is available ofthe FTZ web site at: http://ia.ita.doc.gov/ftzpage.* Agreements pursuant to Article XXIV of the GATT to reduce Customs tariffs and restrictions ontrade between the member countries establish what are known as "free-trade areas" (e.g., the NorthAmerican Free-Trade Area).

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARYDuring fiscal 2000, the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board issued 60 formal orders. Thedecisions included approvals for 5 new general-purpose zones and 22 new subzones. Authoritywas also granted for the expansion of 16 existing general-purpose zones and 3 subzones. Otheractions involved the granting of authority for revisions to zone plans, as well as approvals fornew manufacturing activity.1 At the same time, 6 applications were withdrawn by the applicantsand 1 application was denied.The number of approved zones declined despite the approval of 5 new zones because sixzones were removed from the list of approved projects based on the lapse provision of the FTZregulations. (The lapsed zones are FTZ Nos. 91, 97, 178, 190, 192 and 194.)There were 144 FTZ projects fully active during the year, with subzones in operation in over88 of them. The number of facilities using subzone status increased to 217, with 18 new onesinitiating the use of FTZ procedures and 11 discontinuing.The combined value of shipments into general-purpose zones and subzones totaled 238billion compared to 174 billion last year (Figure 1 and Appendix D). General-purpose sitesreceived 28 billion in merchandise. Total shipments received at subzone sites amounted to 210 billion. Some 88 percent of zone activity took place at subzone facilities, which isconsistent with the pattern of the past 15 years.2Merchandise ReceivedFY 2000( bil) FY l999( bil)General-purpose zones2825Subzones210149Total2381741Appendix A contains a list with a summary of each Board Order. Zone authority for manufacturing/processing activitywas granted on a restricted basis in 15 cases, and activation limits were adopted in another 12. The main productscovered by restrictions included crude oil, steel, chemicals, pneumatic components and textile products.2Appendices B and C contain figures on shipments into and out of general-purpose zones and subzones. Appendix Dcontains comparative statistics for the past 5 years. The figures represent the latest statistical data available fromgrantees. Some are still under review. Adjustments normally amount to less than one percent of aggregate shipmentsand would be reflected in next year’s report.1
Over 340,000 persons were employed at some 2,420 firms that operated under FTZ statusduring the year. The main foreign-origin products received at zones are listed in Appendix E.Industry sectors that continued to account for most zone manufacturing activity were oilrefining, auto, other motor vehicle, computer/office equipment and metal producing firms. Anestimated 64 percent of the shipments received at zones for use in manufacturing activityinvolved domestic status merchandise. The level of domestic status inputs used by such FTZoperations indicates that FTZ activity tends to involve domestic operations that combine foreigninputs with significant domestic inputs. This reflects the fact that FTZ procedures serve as ameans of rationalizing Customs treatment to assist domestic plants in their efforts to beinternationally competitive.The Board received and filed 75 formal applications during the fiscal year. These proposalsrequested authority for 8 new general-purpose zones and 23 subzones, as well as authorizationfor expansion and new manufacturing at existing zone projects (Appendix F). In addition, over75 cases were processed under the Board’s less formal administrative procedures (Appendix G).The latter cases involved routine, non-controversial changes to zone projects such as boundarymodifications and scope decisions. Some proposals were processed under the Board’s "fasttrack" procedure, which is used when there are recent precedents for the contemplated activity orwhen only exports are involved.Last year, exports (shipments to foreign countries) from facilities operating under FTZprocedures amounted to 15 billion (Figure 2). The export figure for FY 2000 was lower thanthat for the previous year primarily because of a special change in Customs procedures forhandling export activity related to space launches. Though the activity continued, FTZprocedures were no longer needed because merchandise related to this activity became duty-free.The export figures do not include indirect exports involving FTZ merchandise which undergoesfurther processing in the U.S. at non-FTZ sites prior to export.2
