The impact ofForeign-TradeZones on the 50 states
& Puerto Rico
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
FTZ No. 83 maintains 0 subzones and serves 4
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
FTZ No. 233 maintains 0 subzones and serves 2
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
activity is anticipated to be driven by Dothan’s ideal
location as a distribution center.

Zone Development
The volume of FTZ activity in Alaska increased
15.9% from $2.76 billion in 2005 to $3.20 billion in
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%.

The volume of FTZ activity in California increased
15.7% from $23.06 billion in 2005 to $26.68 billion in
2006. This is primarily due to the expansion of activity in
the Port of Los Angeles (FTZ No. 202) and the increase
in the price of oil.

Employment Percentage Changes (California 2005-2006)
Zone Development
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
No. 202. Exports of manufactured commodities from
California increased 10.9% during the 2005-2006
calendar year.*
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

operating in the GPZ, and the growth of the National

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
25.3% from $4.69 billion in 2005 to $5.88 billion in
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
increased 4.7% during the 2005-2006 calendar year.*
Jobs associated with Florida FTZs decreased 4.7%
over the past year, while total nonfarm employment in
Florida increased by 2.8%.

No. 42 Orlando, Florida
FTZ No. 42 maintains 1 subzone and serves 42

FTZ No. 64 maintains 1 subzone and serves 7

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

No. 27 Boston, Massachusetts
FTZ No. 27 maintains 3 subzones and serves 19
businesses, including Polaroid, AstraZeneca, and

exports increased in the general purpose zone due
to the rise in imports of jet fuel and footwear through
the local ports. Boston Logan International Airport’s
passenger volumes increased in FY 2006 and footwear
manufacturers benefited from a shift in ocean cargo
routes. AstraZeneca’s annual volume decreased sharply
in 2006. One of the materials AstraZeneca received in
subzone 27L in 2005 was NXY-059, which was in its
clinical trial stage. AstraZeneca eventually decided not to
continue to import the material after receiving the study
results, leading to the decline in annual volume.

Yabucoa, Inc., and two minor boundary modifications in
the GPZ. The zone continues to play a role in the Puerto
Rican Commonwealth’s policy of Small and Medium
Enterprise promotion.
No. 163 Ponce, Puerto Rico
FTZ No. 163 maintains 0 subzones and serves 27

which influenced zone activities. Production in the zone
includes vehicles, agricultural equipment, furniture,
heavy equipment, minerals, fuels, air conditioners, and
pharmaceutical products. The grantee plans to promote
the FTZ by visiting industries operating in the southern

Zone Development
The volume of FTZ activity in Virginia decreased
35.3% from $1.67 billion in 2005 to $1.08 billion in
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
11.1% during the 2005-2006 calendar year.*
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.
