Avoid Rising Tariffs: How Biagi Bros’ Oklahoma City FTZ Helps Businesses Save

With the recent rise in American tariffs, businesses that rely on imported goods are facing increased costs that can significantly impact their bottom line. But what if there was a way to store, process, and ship goods while reducing or deferring tariffs? 

At Biagi Bros, we’re committed to helping our customers optimize their supply chain and cut unnecessary costs. That’s why we want to highlight a major advantage of our Oklahoma City warehouse—it is designated as a Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ). 

What Is a Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ)? 

A Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) is a secure, designated area within the United States where imported goods are not subject to U.S. customs duties or tariffs until they leave the zone and enter U.S. commerce. This means businesses can store, assemble, process, or re-export products without paying duties upfront helping to improve cash flow and reduce costs. 

Key FTZ Benefits for Your Business 

Defer, Reduce, or Eliminate Tariffs 

• Goods stored in the FTZ are not subject to tariffs until they leave the zone for U.S. distribution. 

• If goods are re-exported from the FTZ, no U.S. tariffs are owed at all. 

• Businesses can choose to pay tariffs on either imported components or the finished product, whichever is lower (known as the inverted tariff benefit). 

Improved Cash Flow 

• No immediate duty payments mean companies can reinvest capital elsewhere in their operations. 

• Goods can remain in the FTZ indefinitely, with no time limit on storage. 

Optimized Supply Chain & Logistics 

• Businesses can store goods closer to their final destination without immediate tariff costs. 

• Companies can repackage, assemble, and test products within the FTZ before entering the U.S. market. 

Greater Flexibility for Importers & Exporters 

• Imported goods that don’t meet quality standards can be discarded or re-exported without paying tariffs. 

• Companies can process raw materials and ship finished products directly from the FTZ.
