What is Zone-restricted?

Zone-restricted is a term in foreign trade zones (FTZ) in reference to goods that have been admitted to a FTZ, but only for exportation or destruction. Zone-restricted goods cannot be removed to Customs territory for domestic consumption without the specific consent of the Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

Some specific criteria for zone-restricted goods includes:

Must be admitted to a FTZ for only exportation or destruction.
Must be clearly marked as ‘zone-restricted’.
Must be stored in a secure location in the FTZ.
Must be accounted for at all times.
Must be exported or destroyed within a certain period of time.

Zone-restricted goods are valuable for businesses interested in importing goods, but who might not have a specific distribution plan or buyer in place.
