Nat iona l Assoc ia t ion of Fore ign -Trade Zones

The Impact of Foreign-Trade Zones on American States and Puerto Rico

provides a state-by-state breakdown of foreign-trade zone activity in the 2006

fiscal year.* Each of these state analyses give special attention to the factors

reflecting foreign-trade zone growth: annual merchandise volume, exports,

employment, and business firm engagement. These statistics are extracted

from the required Annual Reports submitted by each foreign-trade zone to

the Foreign-Trade Zone Board in the U.S. Department of Commerce. These

reports are public information.

The goal of this study is to increase public awareness of foreign-trade zone

activity, and the roles foreign-trade zones play in each state’s economy.

Although the Foreign-Trade Zones program is not large in scale, the statistical

and qualitative scale of this report clarifies the important role that foreign-

trade zones play in the U.S. and international trade. It also facilitates year-

over-year comparison and assessment regarding program effectiveness.

In the material presented for each state, Chart 1, entitled “Foreign-Trade

Zones and Subzones,” defines annual volume as the currency value of

received merchandise, both domestic and foreign, and includes zone-to-zone

transfers to provide a complete picture of the business conducted in each

zone. Exports are considered the currency value of all goods that leave the

foreign-trade zone directly without first entering U.S. commerce, regardless

of origin before entrance into the zone. Employment includes all persons

engaged in activities under zone procedures. Active firms reflect the total

number of firms that were served by the zone during the fiscal year.

This report has been supported by U.S. foreign-trade zone grantee members

of the National Association of Foreign-Trade Zones in an effort to encourage

a greater understanding of foreign-trade zones and their role in national and

local economic development.

The statistical analysis in this report was created by Elizabeth Hanpeter

and Admir Muzurovic, both MA candidates, 2008 at the Elliott School of

International Affairs at George Washington University and Research Analysts

for the National Association of Foreign-Trade Zones.

*The fiscal year began on October 1, 2005 and ended on September 30, 2006.

About This Report

Foreign-trade zones (FTZs) were created in the United

States to provide special U.S. Customs and Border

Protection (CBP) procedures to U.S. firms engaged in

international trade-related activities. These procedures

were designed to encourage manufacturing in the

domestic industry. FTZs consist of general purpose

zones (GPZs), which maintain multiple users and are

used primarily for warehousing and distribution. FTZs

may contain subzones each serving a single company

usually for manufacturing activity. The FTZ program

requires that subzones serve the public interest and

produce a net positive economic effect. This study

provides insights into domestic employment creation and

retention, as well as the impact of trade on state and

local development.

With the reduction of tariff barriers through the WTO

and an increasing number of bilateral trade agreements,

many industries are receiving only marginal benefits

from zone status. The pharmaceutical, automotive, and

oil industries continue to be the primary beneficiaries

of the FTZ program for manufacturing. A diverse array

of industries use zones for warehousing, inspection,

labeling, and distribution purposes. Zones in 27 states

had an average increase in annual volume of 15% or

more. Additionally, zones in 25 states had an average

increase of 5% or more in exports. These statistics

highlight the continued importance of the foreign-trade

zone program.

FTZ Volume in 2006

The combined value of shipments into U.S. foreign-

trade zones (both general purpose zones and subzones)

totaled $491 billion in 2006. This activity value

represents a 20% increase over the $410 billion in

zone receipts reported by the NAFTZ for 2005. A large

percentage of the increase in annual volume handled by

FTZs is attributable to the higher price of oil. Therefore, it

is difficult to measure the true change in activity levels.

If we exclude the oil producing states of Texas,

Louisiana, Alaska, and California, the total annual

volume for 2006 falls to $226 billion. However, this

number still reflects a 14% increase over 2005.

Exports to Foreign Countries

The exports from U.S. foreign-trade zones to foreign

countries totaled $30 billion in 2006. These export

figures show a 30% increase from the $23 billion in zone

exports reported for 2005. Exports of manufactured

commodities from all of the U.S. grew by just under 16%

in the 2005-2006 period.

Employment

In 2006, foreign-trade zones employed 360,109

persons. While the 2006 figure is slightly more (5%)

than jobs reported in 2005, it must be noted that zone-

related employment is becoming increasingly capital

intensive. The NAFTZ is working to ensure the accuracy

of zone employment reporting, particularly for part-time

and contract labor.

Firms Engaged in Zone Activities

There were 2,646 firms served by foreign-trade zones

in 2006. This figure represents a 5% increase from the

2,519 firms served in 2005. A number of firms, located

in activated zones, do not use zone procedures, though

they would like to maintain this option for the future.

No. 82 Mobile, Alabama

FTZ No. 82 maintains 6 subzones and serves 12

businesses engaged in shipbuilding, repair, oil refining,

the production of magnetic recording products,

chemical, and petrochemical products. Growth in zone

activity was due to the increase in the price of oil, the

expansion of manufacturing by E.I. du Pont de Nemours

and Company, Inc., Kvaerner Oilfield products, and the

start-up of zone procedures by Bender Shipbuilding.

No. 83 Huntsville, Alabama


businesses. The decrease in annual volume was due

to one of the General Purpose Zone Users moving

its distribution facility to El Paso, TX in May 2006.

The firms in FTZ No. 83 serve mainly as just-in-time

distribution facilities and third-party warehouses for the

manufacturing of display modules.

No. 98 Birmingham, Alabama

FTZ No. 98 maintains 1 subzone and serves 3 firms,

the largest of which is Mercedes-Benz. The City of

Birmingham continues to coordinate marketing efforts

and educate the trade community about the benefits of

the FTZ.

No. 222 Montgomery, Alabama

FTZ No. 222 maintains 1 subzone and serves 2

businesses. Annual volume increased largely due to the

increase in production by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing.

In addition, the Foreign-Trade Zones Board approved

the application for manufacturing authority on behalf of

Mobis Alabama, a major tier-1 Hyundai supplier.

No. 233 Dothan (Panama City), Alabama


businesses. Zone activity centers around just-in-time

zone-to-zone transfers of merchandise and provides

employment for 289 people. Long-term growth of zone

2006.

Exports from Alaskan FTZs increased 56.1% from

$0.14 billion in 2005 to $0.22 billion in 2006. This

growth is due in part to the increase of the price of jet

fuel. In addition, numerous international airlines used

foreign status fuel received and disbursed through the

zone. They were United Parcel Services (UPS), China

Airlines, Japan Airlines, and Nippon Cargo. Export activity

also included several shipments of fuel oil to Hong Kong

and bunker fuel to several foreign vessels. Exports of

manufactured commodities from Alaska decreased

36.9% during the 2005-2006 calendar year.*

Jobs associated with Alaska FTZs increased 1.6%

over the past year and reached 641 in 2006, while total

nonfarm employment in Alaska increased by 1.7%.

Exports from California FTZs decreased 16.7% from

$0.84 billion in 2005 to $0.70 billion in 2006 due to

the drop in the number of active firms in FTZ No. 153

and the reduction of exports by ConocoPhillips in FTZ

Jobs associated with California FTZs increased 7.3%

over the past year, reaching 15,691 in 2006. The total

nonfarm employment in California increased by 1.1%.

Most of the rise in FTZ employment is accounted for by

FTZ No. 50, the increase in the number of active firms

operating in the GPZ, and the growth of the National

Steel and Shipbuilding Company.

which increased its production of projection screens

for Rear Projection Televisions. On the other hand, the

annual volume in the GPZ decreased due to the drop in

the number of active firms from 87 to 61.

No. 191 Palmdale (L.A. - Long Beach), California


businesses.

No. 202 Los Angeles (L.A. - Long Beach), California


businesses, including 3M Pharmaceuticals, Chevron,

Zone Development

The volume of FTZ activity in Connecticut increased

116.9% from $52.33 million in 2005 to $113.50

million in 2006. This increase is the result of Pfizer,

Inc.’s higher levels of pharmaceutical manufacturing,

particularly in the production of the drug Selamectin in

FTZ No. 208.

Exports from Connecticut FTZs decreased 100.00%

from $30.28 million in 2005 to $0.00 million in 2006.

This decrease is due to FTZ No. 208 GPZ operator’s

purchase of another domestic company’s inventory

of merchandise, i.e. gloves. Exports of manufactured

commodities from Connecticut increased 57.0% during

the 2005-2006 calendar year.*

Jobs associated with Connecticut FTZs decreased

25.2% from 416 in 2005 to 311 in 2006 due to

Pfizer’s greater investment in machinery. Total nonfarm

The volume of FTZ activity in Florida increased


2006. The surge in volume is mainly due to increases

in the price of jet fuel, which is handled by FTZ Nos. 25,

42, 79, 213, and 250. The expansion of production by

firms within FTZ No. 64 also significantly contributed to

this increase.

Exports from Florida FTZs increased 30.9% from

$1.27 billion in 2005 to $1.66 billion in 2006. The

majority of this increase is due to the higher price of jet

fuel. Exports of manufactured commodities from Florida


Jobs associated with Florida FTZs decreased 4.7%

businesses. Two of the subzone operators, CITGO

Petroleum and Chevron Products Company, use the

zone for duty-free storage of petroleum products for

re-exportation. The general purpose zone distributes

products that include alcohol, tobacco, automobiles,

clothing, and electronics. Annual volume and exports for

FTZ No. 25 increased in all subzones, and particularly in

those that handle petroleum products.

No. 32 Miami, Florida


businesses. FTZ No. 32 provides processing of export-

related information, storage, and other international

commercial services for small and medium-sized firms.

Annual volume, exports, and employment increased

slightly within the zone due to the improving Latin

American economies and the incorporation of new and

more ambitious marketing strategies.

No. 42 Orlando, Florida


businesses, a slight increase in total businesses

compared to the previous year. However, most of

the zone increase in annual volume is the result of

increased jet fuel supplies and higher jet fuel prices

entering the activated fuel storage facility at Orlando

International Airport.

No. 64 Jacksonville, Florida


businesses. Most of the activity in the zone consisted of

auto processing, consumer leather goods distribution,

and alcoholic beverage distribution. The increases in

annual volume and exports can be mainly attributed to

a new FTZ operation, which began importing, storing,

and distributing alcoholic beverages from Europe on

January 1, 2006. Meanwhile, the grantee’s marketing

efforts have successfully attracted an all water direct

Asian service which will begin operating in December of

2008. This new service will likely increase interest and

opportunities for further FTZ program participation.

the offshore oil industry by importing and processing

survey equipment. The Panama City Port Authority

continues efforts to attract multi-national corporations

to the FTZ.

businesses. Overall activity in the zone increased

substantially as a result of combined jet fuel operations

and rising jet fuel prices at three general purpose zone

International, Inc. The Tampa Port Authority continues to

attempt to attract further container cargo business.

No. 135 Palm Beach County, Florida

No. 215 Sebring, Florida


business. Zone activity is concentrated in the sale of

fuel to outbound aircraft. The zone was active in 2006,

but the level of activity was minimal and rounded down

to market the zone through brochures, a partnership

with the Bahamas Ministry of Trade, and ongoing

negotiations with the Sebring International Raceway

regarding the feasibility of importing racecars directly

into the Zone.

Virginia Foreign-Trade Zones and Subzones


Virginia






Zone Development

The volume of FTZ activity in Virginia decreased


2006. The decrease in volume is due to a decrease in

the number of firms served. Additionally, the volume

generated by FTZ No. 185 decreased dramatically

in 2006.

Exports from Virginia FTZs increased 18.0% from

$0.17 billion in 2005 to $.20 billion in 2006. Exports

of manufactured commodities from Virginia increased


Jobs associated with Virginia FTZs decreased 2.5%

over the year, reaching 2,124 in 2006. This is largely

due to the decrease in employment in the GPZ in FTZ

No. 20, due to a user moving part of its operation to a

centralized port. In contrast, total nonfarm employment

in Virginia increased by 0.9% over the past fiscal year.
