Trade Smarter with FTZ Advantages
Foreign Trade Zone warehouses provide a unique advantage for businesses engaged in international trade: the ability to store, process, and re-export goods without triggering domestic duty obligations. WAREX connects you with FTZ-designated facilities that deliver measurable cost savings on your import operations.
Within an FTZ, imported goods can be stored, assembled, manufactured, or processed before entering the Canadian market. Duties are only assessed when goods leave the zone for domestic consumption — and if goods are re-exported, duties may never be owed. This creates powerful cash flow and cost optimization opportunities.
Store imported goods indefinitely without triggering customs duty payments.
Re-export goods from the FTZ without incurring Canadian duties.
Assemble, label, or process goods within the zone under favorable duty treatment.
Integrated customs services for coordinated movement in and out of the FTZ.
