Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) No. 275 was established in 2009 to help mid-Michigan companies compete globally. Centered at Port Lansing and the Capital Region International Airport, FTZ No. 275 serves an eight-county region: Clinton, Eaton, Gratiot, Ingham, Isabella, Jackson, Livingston and Shiawassee.

An FTZ is a federally designated area in or near a U.S. Customs port of entry where foreign and domestic merchandise is categorized as outside the country or outside U.S. Customs territory.

Eligible companies within the FTZ No. 275 region can leverage special privileges while performing activities required for manufacturing or distribution. Importers and exporters benefit through streamlined global logistics and reduced overall costs through eliminated, deferred or reduced duties and customs-related fees.  For more information, visit http://portlansing.com/ftz-no-275
