Albuquerque's Foreign Trade Zone

The City of Albuquerque has a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) on 60 acres near the air cargo center at Albuquerque International Sunport.

A Foreign Trade Zone is a duty-free port regulated by U.S. Customs. Companies can bring in raw materials or finished goods, which they can store, assemble, repackage, grade, manufacture or re-export without paying duty.

The access road, Spirit Drive, has been redesigned for smoother traffic flow, and the City is preparing a site development plan for the FTZ parcel. Next the City plans to buy or build a warehouse for use by companies interested in the benefits of an FTZ
