The Port of Moses Lake operates as a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) #203, providing tenants with the financial benefits in imports and exports that accompany a FTZ. The FTZ status allows companies within the Port of Moses Lake to store goods duty-free, delay tax and customs payments, and lower inventory costs. The United States Customs and Border Protection office is located within Grant County International Airport.
The Port of Moses Lake FTZ helps tenants to compete more efficiently and cost effectively in the marketplace through duty deferral and exemption, inverted tariffs, and the many logistical improvements that can be incorporated into a company’s production and distribution process when utilizing a FTZ.
Foreign and domestic merchandise may be moved into zones for operations, including storage, exhibition, assembly, manufacturing, and processing. The standard Customs entry procedures and payments of duties are not required on the foreign merchandise unless and until it enters the US Custom’s territory, at which point the importer generally has the choice of paying duties at the rate of either the original foreign materials or the finished product. Domestic goods moved into the zone for export may be considered exported upon admission to the zone for purposes of excise tax rebates and drawback.
The Port’s FTZ #203 Alternative Site Framework allows business in the following Washington counties to benefit from FTZ status:
- Benton County
- Chelan County
- Columbia County
- Douglas County
- Franklin County
- Grant County
- Kittitas County
- Lincoln County
- Okanagan County
