Managing a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) has moved from a back-office function to a core business need. As trade regulations tighten and supply chain strategies evolve, FTZ administration has become a high-stakes responsibility, one that demands accuracy, agility, and constant oversight.
In recent years, CBP has increased its scrutiny of zone operations, placing more pressure on companies to maintain airtight compliance. Simultaneously, staffing shortages and rising trade volatility have made it harder to maintain in-house expertise.
That’s why more FTZ operators are turning to outsourced support. At ITC Diligence International, we’ve introduced a two-tier Managed Services program designed to meet companies where they are, whether they need operational support or expert oversight.
Why Businesses Are Making the Shift
Running an FTZ in today’s environment means balancing CBP compliance, real-time inventory controls, tariff strategy, and annual reporting all while responding to ongoing audits and policy updates. In-house teams often struggle to maintain the systems, staffing, and expertise needed to keep up.
Outsourcing FTZ operations allows companies to:
- Reduce risk of noncompliance and penalties
- Streamline inventory and customs documentation
- Maintain accurate records during staff turnover or system changes
- Focus internal resources on core business operations
Two Levels of Support from ITC
1. Managed Services
A full-service option for companies that want ITC to handle the day-to-day, including:
- Daily admissions, entries, and export processing
- Real-time inventory tracking
- Customs documentation submission using licensed software
- Discrepancy management, physical inventory audits, and monthly ROI reporting
- Tariff management through centralized reporting
2. Management Oversight
Ideal for companies that already manage their own FTZ but want peace of mind, this tier includes:
- Annual on-site mock audits to prepare for CBP reviews
- Representation with CBP, FTZ Boards, and Grantees
- Operational guidance and policy training
- Support for annual and reconciliation reports
Designed for Modern Trade
Whether your business is expanding into new zones or rethinking how to manage existing ones, ITC’s Managed Services are built to scale. With decades of FTZ consulting and operational experience, we help businesses adapt quickly to regulatory shifts and optimize trade operations with confidence.
