Case Study
FTZ Official™
The Challenge
Foreign Trade Zones offer significant duty advantages to US importers — but navigating the complex eligibility rules, calculating potential savings, and identifying applicable commodities has historically required expensive customs brokers and hours of manual research.
Companies were leaving substantial savings on the table simply because the analysis was too burdensome. PIERS — the leading provider of US import/export trade data — recognized this gap and partnered with Nautilytics to build a solution.
The Solution: FTZ Official™
FTZ Official™ is a purpose-built web application that combines PIERS trade data with Nautilytics' visualization expertise to put FTZ analysis directly in the hands of importers, customs brokers, and economic development organizations.
