Accelerate SMMs Success with FTZ Subzone Status
Establishing an FTZ Subzone allows SMMs to defer or reduce tariffs, optimize inventory flows, and improve cash flow by deferring duties until goods leave the zone. FTZ Subzone status can also help SMMs reduce import costs, strengthen their logistics capabilities, and increase their appeal as preferred suppliers for MNEs. With rising global competition, FTZ designation can be a strategic differentiator, fostering growth and providing a solid foundation for future business development.
