Notes

An FTZ is an area within the United States, in or near a U.S. Customs port of entry, where foreign and domestic merchandise is considered to be outside the country, or at least, outside of U.S. Customs territory. Certain types of merchandise can be imported into a Zone without going through formal Customs entry procedures or paying import duties. Customs duties and excise taxes are due only at the time of transfer from the FTZ for U.S. consumption. If the merchandise never enters the U.S. commerce, then no duties or taxes are paid on those items.

I plan to follow up and exchange ideas, plans, and to see how this experience impacted their lives and their communities. This was a special moment as we got to know the visitor's life story, their struggles and their successes as they look to better serve their communities back in their country.”
