Port Lansing Offers Foreign Trade Zone Seminars

LANSING -- Port Lansing is offering free seminars around mid-Michigan to teach companies how they can tap into the Port Lansing free trade zone to reduce, defer or eliminate duties and other fees.

Currently more than 2,800 companies across the United States use FTZ's in this way. They are also leveraging other benefits of using an FTZ such as direct delivery and improved inventory controls.

Join us at one of four mid-Michigan stops to learn how your company can tap into Port Lansing's FTZ No. 275.  Experts from Hellmann Worldwide Logistics will provide an overview of the program, real world examples and answer your questions on how to make the FTZ program work for you.
