FTXs refer to areas that are subject to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) surveillance and are not generally considered to be within CBP territory once activated. They can be found close to CBP ports or entry points and are the U.S. equivalent to what is internationally called free trade zones.
Import products can be brought into America through Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ). Until they reach the United States, there is no duty on imported products.
