Shared costs, such as warehouses and other facilities, may be serviceable by 3PLs.

Huguet stated that the U.S.a U.S.FTZ is a sister program to the international free trade zone. She stated that the U.S.a U.S.FTZ was unique and had a strong track record of compliance with all sector, producers, distributors, manufacturers, and other stakeholders. They can benefit from this program if they import to the U.S.

Huguet stated that there are three steps required to join an FTZ. Consultation with the FTZ board is required for designation. After activation local customs and security, and construction of an operational FTZ Section that runs parallel to in-house systems.

Paul Killea is the senior vice president for Freight Services Compliance & Security for Americas, GEODIS. He is responsible for ensuring compliance with Canada's import and export regulations and managing FTZ products.

Killea explained that "compliance" refers to the ability to ensure customers and services adhere to all applicable regulations (internal as well as domestic). It is our responsibility ensure that we have the tools and processes to audit, report, and make compliance visible to all parties including government.

Huguet says that FTZs are increasing in popularity because companies want to improve their supply chains and eliminate bottlenecks. FTZs offer a better solution to all problems.

They can also assist with government trade issues like China. US import data information shows how companies responded the to the COVID-19 pandemic. FTZs can be used by 3PLs that require storage or warehousing support.

Huguet admits that port congestion and COVID can sometimes make it slow or impossible for merchandise to reach its destination. FTZ certainly has helped.
