Usage-Driven GPZ Sites

Usage-Driven GPZ Sites can be established anywhere within the 39-county service area and are designated for a company ready to pursue FTZ activity. The designation is tied to a specific company and is limited to the space needed by the company for zone activities. These sites allow the FTZ program to be flexible in accommodating firms that cannot move to Magnet Sites. A short application is required to establish the site; the Foreign-Trade Zones Board takes 30-45 days to process these applications.

Although manufacturing and processing activities can occur within these sites, the most common activities involve warehousing and distribution. Manufacturing and processing activities require the firm to file a separate, detailed application with the Foreign-Trade Zones Board for authorization. Manufacturing applications under ASF will typically take 6-8 months to process if no case issues arise and must demonstrate a significant public benefit
