Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZs)

Capture

U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZs) provide a secure and profitable platform to compete effectively in domestic and global markets. The FTZ program is available to all U.S. based importers/exporters and can be established at warehouses/distribution centers and manufacturing facilities.

South Carolina FTZs are administered under the FTZ Board's Alternative Site Framework (ASF). SC Ports is the administrator (grantee) for two Foreign-Trade Zones in South Carolina: FTZ 21 along the coast and FTZ 38 in the Upstate. SC Ports works closely with the Richland-Lexington Airport District-Columbia Metropolitan Airport, the administrator (grantee) for FTZ 127 in the Midlands region.
