Summary:

This report provides an overview of the U.S. foreign-trade zone system. The report covers what zones are and how they function, the history of the U.S. zone system, how the zone system has evolved from its original intent, and policy issues and legislative issues relating to zones. Twelve tables and figures provide a list of zones and subzones by state, and information on zone or subzone application, cost savings available to zone users, winners and losers from zone use, and major zone legislation in the 105th and 106th Congresses.
