Abstract: Annual Reports from foreign-trade zones (FTZs) are required by the FTZ Act (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u). These reports are the only complete source of compiled information on trade activity in FTZs. The reports are used by Congress and the Department to determine the economic effect of the FTZ program; by the FTZ Board and other officials to determine whether zone activity is consistent with trade policy and in the public interest; and by the public to evaluate FTZs' effects on their industry sectors.
