Foreign Trade Zone

Foreign Trade Zone #236, 917 acres at Palm Springs International Airport and 14 acres at Palm Springs Rail Station, can benefit firms that import or export goods:

• Customs duties and Federal Excise Taxes are deferred improving cash flow.
• No duties on goods re-exported from an FTZ.
• Foreign and Domestic Goods held for export are exempt from state and local inventory taxes.
• If finished products assembled in FTZ have lower duty rates than their imported components, the importer may pay duties at the lower rate.
