How FTWZ Customs Clearance Works

Goods received into a Free Trade Warehousing Zone stay under customs control. They aren't cleared for domestic use on arrival, so clearance happens in steps, depending on what you do with the goods.

  1. Receipt into the zone. The goods arrive and are received against the applicable customs documents.
  2. Holding and handling. While under customs control, goods can be stored and, where permitted, repacked, relabelled, sorted, kitted, inspected or consolidated, subject to applicable rules.
  3. Release. Each consignment, or each part of one, is then cleared into the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA), re-exported, or transferred to another unit where permitted.
  4. Filing. Astromar coordinates the paperwork and filings for each movement, subject to applicable customs rules.

Duty and tax timing follows the point at which goods are cleared into the domestic market, so clearing in stages can be worth planning. For a side-by-side look at how this differs from a standard port release, read our comparison of FTWZ-based customs clearance and standard port clearance.
