A Free Trade Zone (FTZ) is a designated area within a country, usually near a port, where goods can be imported, stored, manufactured, or reconfigured without immediately paying customs duties, allowing companies to defer or avoid taxes, reduce costs, improve cash flow, and enhance competitiveness for international trade and logistics. FTZs facilitate activities like warehousing, assembly, and processing, with duties typically paid only when goods enter the domestic market or are re-exported, providing benefits for both domestic production and international distribution.
