FTZ Benefits Calculator (Estimator)

The FTZ Benefits Calculator is a tool to provide indicative, potential benefits to a company by implementing an FTZ program at its operation. The estimated financial benefits are meant to provide guidance on likely financial savings. Use the calculator to scenario plan in a dynamic tariff environment. To conduct a comprehensive feasibility analysis, a contact professional FTZ consultant or trade attorney to customize this analysis for your unique situations. Referrals to FTZ consultants available upon request.

The calculator estimates benefits that can be achieved through:

• Tariff deferral – align your payment of an import tariff with the timing of your product leaving your facility, rather than at the time of importing the product
• Elimination of tariffs on re-exports – potentially eliminate tariffs on re-exported imports (depends on whether goods have been manufactured, and the destination of the re-export)
• Reduced import fees – reduce your customs brokerage fees, merchandise processing fees, and harbor maintenance fees due to consolidation of customs entries into a single weekly-entry
