Seminole County Foreign-Trade Zones & Industrial Parks
Great Locations, Big Tax Savings, and Room to Grow
Eight Outstanding Sites with Convenient Transportation Access
Foreign-Trade Zones offer companies who manufacture, import or
repurpose/repackage using parts or materials from outside the country, an attractive opportunity
to save on taxes and pass on the savings to their customers.
Seminole County’s Foreign Trade Zone is one of the newest
and largest in the nation, offering eight premium commercial/industrial sites. It includes water
access to the St. John’s River and Lake Monroe at the Port of Sanford and runway access at
the Orlando Sanford International Airport Commerce Park. Other locations provide easy access to
the high-tech Interstate 4 corridor as well as the University of Central Florida’s Research Park.
The Foreign-Trade Zones Act was created to “expedite and
encourage foreign commerce” in the United States. This is accomplished through the designation
of geographical areas in or adjacent to Customs Ports of Entry where commercial merchandise receives
the same Customs Treatment it would if it were outside the commerce of the US.
If your company uses imported goods and you’re in the market
to relocate, check out how the advantages of the Seminole County Foreign Trade Zone will apply to
your particular business. There is existing space available in the FTZ, as well as developed sites
for custom construction.
