Georgia Foreign-Trade Zone

Helping businesses thrive in a competitive global environment by reducing the cost of doing business & opening up supply chain efficiencies.

Nothing is more important in business than certainty. As US #trade policy evolves, the #FTZ program — how it works, benefits communities, and saves business time and money — has been steady and reliable. Learn more at https://t.co/xg6SyEDCxD.

[Georgia Foreign-Trade Zone @Georgia_FTZ]

We're keeping a close eye on updates to US trade policy. It's clear more changes are coming.

The #FTZ program's reliability and stability makes it essential for manufacturers with a global #supplychain and distributors engaged in global commerce. Period.

We love it when businesses we support are hiring!

Yamaha, which has used its #FTZ benefits to support exports of golf carts, U.S. & export sales of personal watercraft, and production of ATVs for 20+ years, is hiring 300 new employees!

FTZs reduce taxes and fees for manufacturing, e-commerce and other retail companies. So much so that Curtis Spencer says small- and medium-sized companies “could end up doubling their profits” by operating in an FTZ environment.
