Foreign Trade Zone
Foreign Trade Zone No. 107 was granted by the Foreign Trade Zones Board to the Iowa Foreign Trade Zone Corporation, an Iowa non-profit corporation affiliated with the Greater Des Moines Chamber of Commerce, Des Moines, Iowa, in April, 1980.
The Iowa Foreign Trade Zone helps economic development
The goal of the Iowa Foreign Trade Zone is to promote economic development in central Iowa through promotion and utilization of Foreign Trade Zone No. 107 by assisting businesses to be more competitive in the global market. FTZ No. 107 assists in the economic development of the community by providing a customs management tool to importers and exporters.
Primary Advantages
There are three ways to take advantage of FTZ 107. A company can have its products handled by a zone operator, become a separate zone user under an operator, or a company can itself become a zone operator at one of the existing zone sites. If none of the existing zone sites is suitable, the grantee can apply to the FTZ Beard for a modification, expansion or subzone.
