Duty Savings Estimator

Evaluate Your Potential FTZ Duty Savings 

    This worksheet can help you easily gauge potential FTZ duty savings. 

  •       Enter the requested information and the worksheet will automatically calculate estimated FTZ duty savings. 
  •       Use additional copies of the worksheet for additional inputs or finished product-input combinations

Please note: This worksheet is intended for inputs subject to standard HTSUS duty rates only. Inputs subject to special duties (AD/CVD, Section 201, Section 232, Section 301) cannot be used with this estimator because applicability of such duties is locked-in at the time the subject input arrives at an FTZ – and cannot be reduced by using the subject input to make a downstream product in the FTZ that is subsequently entered for U.S. consumption.

Also, while this worksheet can calculate potential FTZ duty savings, you should also consider the startup and on-going compliance costs of operating the FTZ prior to submitting an application.
