SUMMARY :
FTZ #5, based in the Port of Seattle, occupies over 57,000 square metres. In 2014, the port was recognised by the Financial Times FDi Magazine for the “Highest Growth in Occupied Space”.
As well as providing office space and industrial units in close proximity to Seattle Port, one of the busiest in the North West, FTZ #5 also runs a number of initiatives to help businesses within it bring down costs – aside from the ability to reduce, defer or even eliminate duty payments which is standard across America’s foreign-trade zones. For example, the FTZs Weekly Entry Process allows companies to pay processing fees weekly rather than daily – which can bring savings of up to 85% on entry and processing fees.
FTZ #5’s location is without doubt its biggest asset. Part of the NorthWest Seaport Alliance – the fourth-largest container gateway for cargo shipping between Asia and major distribution points in the Midwest – the site benefits from excellent links to the Asian ports of China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as easy access to Alaska and Canada.
